Single Wire Connection 

This uses one cable to connect each loudspeaker to the power amplifier.  The two red terminals and 
the  two  black  terminals  on  the  crossover  panel  should  be  linked  together.    The  loudspeaker  will  be 
shipped with high quality links in this position.   
 
Connect  the  loudspeaker  cable  to  the  woofer  input  terminals  taking  care  to  ensure  that  the  woofer 
positive terminal is connected to the power amplifier positive output terminal and the woofer negative 
terminal  is  connected  to  the  power  amplifier  negative  output  terminal.    See  the  left  hand  diagram  in 
figure 8 for details. 
 

Bi-Wire Connection 

In  this  method  of connection  the  DDD  driver  and  woofer  inputs  are  connected  to  the  power  amplifier 
with  separate  loudspeaker  cables.    Ensure  that  the  links  between  the  two  red  terminals  and  the  two 
black terminals on the crossover panel have been removed.   
 
Connect  one  loudspeaker  cable  to  the  DDD  driver  input  terminals  taking  care  to  ensure  that  the 
positive terminal is connected to the power amplifier positive output terminal and the negative terminal 
is connected to the power amplifier negative output terminal.   
 
Connect  the  other  loudspeaker  cable  to  the  woofer  input  terminals  taking  care  to  ensure  that  the 
woofer  positive  terminal  is  connected  to  the  power  amplifier  positive  output  terminal  and  the  woofer 
negative  terminal  is  connected  to  the  power  amplifier  negative  output  terminal.    See  the  right  hand
