SPEAKER WIRING
Diamond Audio recommends using speaker wire of at least 16 gauge. Lay out
the wire in the vehicle from the individual speaker locations to the amplifier(s).
Observe safe wiring precautions.
Your
D5 Professional Reference Series Amplifier
will accept speaker wire up to
10 gauge directly. Locate the speaker terminal block on the end of the
amplifier. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the wire, insert the
wire into the terminal, and tighten the Allen screw. Repeat for all speaker
wires. Please observe our recommended minimum speaker impedances to
prevent possible damage.
Banana Jacks using up to 8 gauge wire can be inserted into the speaker block.
Remove the set screw completely and insert the Banana Jack into the end of
the block.
BRIDGING
Only the pair of sub channels are capable of bridging on the
D5 5.1
Amplifier.
All other channels are designed for single channel use only. Bridging the sub
channels is accomplished by using the left channel positive (+) output
connection of the amplifier for the speaker positive and the right channel
negative (-) output connection of the amplifier for the speaker negative.
Note:
It is important that a 4 Ohm minimum total speaker impedance
load is observed when bridging the sub channels on the amp! If an
impedance load of less than 4 Ohms is used, you will eventually
damage your amplifier and void your warranty.
RCA INPUTS
CH 1/2 & 3/4 INPUTS
The RCA cables from your source unit or 5.1 processor should be inserted here.
SUB & CENTER CHANNEL INPUTS
The sub channel input is designed for input from your source unit if it is
equiped with a sub output. Otherwise, both the sub and center inputs must
come from a 5.1 processors output.
