About Subwoofer Input/Output Terminals 
(X-A90M/X-A90V only)
• 

The input is stereo but the output is monaural.

• 

Reversing subwoofer polarity (swapping positive 
and negative connections to the subwoofer) may 
be desirable in some installations for optimum 
bass performance.

About Bridged Connections

In the bridged mode, connect the left positive to 
the positive terminal of the speaker and the right 
negative to the negative terminal of the speaker. 
Do not use the speaker (–) terminals as a common 
lead between the left and right channels.

NOTE:
• 

Do not connect the speaker (–) terminal to the 
vehicle’s chassis.

 Cautions on wire lead connections

When using third-party wire cables (power supply 
wire), use the supplied screws to simplify the 
connection. Refer to the description below for the 
proper procedure. If you are in doubt about how to 
make this connection, consult your dealer.

1.  Check the wire size.

• 

For details on the wires size to be used, refer to 
the supplied “Cautions on Power Supply Wires 
Connection” and “Cautions on Power Supply 
Wires” (page 19), and then use the wire of 
the specified size. 

• 

If the wire gauge used is unknown, ask your 
dealer.

2.  Remove the insulation from the ends of the wire 

leads by about 7 – 10 mm (9/32” – 13/32”).

Twist the tip of wire leads

7 – 10 mm 
(9/32” – 13/32”)

NOTES:
• 

If length of the exposed wire is too short, a poor 
connection may occur causing operation failure 
or sound interruption.

• 

On the other hand, if the length is too long, an 
electrical short-circuit may occur.

3.  Tighten the hexagon hole screw with the 

hexagon wrench (Large or Small) (included) to 
secure the lead.

Before making this connection, use insulated 
shrink tubing to cover any exposed wire 
extending beyond the terminal.

NOTES:
• 

Be sure to use the Hexagon hole screw attached 
to the Battery Connector or Speaker Connector.

• 

For safety reasons, connect the battery leads last.

• 

To prevent disconnection of the leads or 
dropping of the unit, do not use the cabling to 
carry the unit.
