The SWA6+ re12V DC to both the red and yellow wires. When both of these wires have
power the SWA6+ is always powered on, and the green Power On LED will remain illuminated.
Ground is connected to the black wire.
In a spa application this requires the red and yellow wires to be jumped together and then
connected to the +12VDC output of the power source. In this set up the SWA6+ will always be
on, with a very low current draw when idle.
In a boat, ATV or other application requiring power from a battery, the yellow wire (constant
power) should be connected to the battery, and the red wire should be connected to the ignition
or a switch.

1.7 Power On
1.6 Power Attenuation Wires
The SWA6+ Combined Stereo Subwoofer’s
power can be reduced or increased to suit
different applications. An output level
of -3dB or -6dB should be used to avoid
blowing very small speakers, often used in
spa applications.
By cutting only the white wire the output level will decrease to -6dB below the nominal 0dB.
By cutting both the white and black wires the power/volume will increase to +6dB above the
nominal 0dB.
By cutting only the black wire the power/volume will increase from -3dB to the nominal 0dB.
These modifications should only be carried out by an experienced audio installer.

Should you cut the wrong wires or wish to reconnect them to further alter the attenuation, the Power Attenuation
Wires can be crimped back together.
