3-CHANNEL WIRING
The amplifier inputs are white cables. Each cable is marked with a numbered band at the end of the
cable.
1. Refer to
Figure 9
for the following connections:
Connect CH 1 signal (left) to white input cable 1.
Connect CH2 signal (right) to white input cable 2.
Connect CH3 signal (Subwoofer) to white input cable 5.
NOTE: White input cables 2 and 4 are not used. To avoid accidental shorting of these cables to the
chassis, and to reduce noise, use a wire nut to connect the “hot lead” and shield in each cable.
2. Set the amplifier switch to 3 CH as in
Figure 10
. This provides the following output powers:
CH1: 100 W at 8 ohms
CH2: 100 W at 8 ohms
CH3: 100 W at 8 ohms
(These are minimum recommend loads.)
3. Refer to
Figure 9
. Connect the speakers as follows. Route the CMA-1 colored output cables
separate from its white input cables to prevent oscillations. Using crimp terminals, connect the
CMA-1 colored cables to the speaker terminals, taking care to observe the cables colors and
polarities noted below:
Blk/Wht:
CH 1 +
Left Speaker
Wht/Red:
CH 2 +
Red/Wht:
CH 2 +
Right Speaker
Grn/Yel:
CH 2 +
Blu/Red: CH
3+ Subwoofer
Yel/Red:
CH 3 -
NOTE: The Back, White, Red and Green cables are not used. To avoid accidental shorting of these
cables, clip exposed ends back to the insulation, and cover with electrical tape.
