Connecting Full-Range Speakers or a Subwoofer to the Amplifier

NOTICE

You should connect only a 4 Ohm full-range speaker or subwoofer to the amplifier when using the high power 
adapter. Connecting a 2 Ohm subwoofer may cause damage to the amplifier or subwoofer.

You must install the provided high power adapter on the speaker terminal block when connecting a full-range 
speaker or subwoofer to a zone. This adapter guarantees that the correct speaker terminals are connected and 
it signals to the amplifier that the zone is operating in high-power mode. If needed, you can purchase additional 
adapters from your Fusion dealer.
Place the high power adapter over an empty speaker terminal block and press until it clicks in place.

Route 12 AWG (3 through 4 mm

2

) marine-grade, fully-tinned copper speaker wire (not included) to the full-

range speaker or subwoofer and the amplifier.
NOTE: You should label both ends of the speaker wire so you can easily identify which wires route to which 
speakers.

Connect the speaker wire to the full-range speaker or subwoofer, observing polarity.

NOTE: Incorrectly connecting the speaker wire by crossing the polarity may result in poor sound quality.

Using a #0 Phillips or a 3 mm (

1

/

8

 in.) flat (slotted) screwdriver, connect the speaker wires to the speaker 

terminal blocks, observing the polarity labeled on the high power adapter cover.
