Connection Diagrams

Stereo Connection

This diagram shows the BPA-1 connected to 2 speakers in a stereo configuration. The crossover 

switch is in the FLAT position. Speakers can be 4-8 Ohms.

Bridged Subwoofer Connection

This diagram shows the BPA-1 connected to 1 subwoofer in a bridged configuration. The LEFT input 

is the mono input for the bridged configuration and will come from your receiver or preamplifier’s sub-

woofer output. The crossover switch is in the LOWPASS position. Crossover frequency should begin 

around 100Hz and be fine tuned once the system is playing as it depends on the frequency response 

of the other main speakers in your system. The subwoofer should be no less than 8 Ohms.

This connection diagram shows 

a typical use of the BPA-1 in 

a stereo configuration driving 

one left channel and one right 

channel speaker. This setup 

is ideal for a second zone or 

whenever the main speakers in 

the room are assembled in a 2 

channel configuration. 

This connection diagram shows 

a typical use of the BPA-1 in a 

bridged configuration driving 

a single subwoofer. This 

setup is ideal for non powered 

subwoofers or the woofer 

portion of a multi-element 

speaker that has bi-amp 

capabilities.

This configuration delivers 75 watts into 

each 4 Ohm speaker. You can also use 8 

Ohm speakers in this configuration.

This configuration delivers 150 watts into 

a single 8 Ohm speaker. You MUST use 

a speaker with a minimum of 8 Ohms 

nominal impedance for the bridged 

configuration!
