terminal side of the Crossover Network, cut the two wire
loops located on the left side. Refer to Figure 9.
1. Press the connector ends of the supplied Woofer/

Woofer/Midrange connecting lugs. Connect the Tweet-
ers in a similar manner.
2. Attach the tinned ends of the two Red/Black Woofer/
Midrange cables to the Crossover Network WOOFER
OUTPUT terminals. The Black wire connects to a MI-
NUS (-) terminal and the Red wire to a PLUS (+) ter-
minal.

cables to the Crossover Network TWEETER terminals.
The Black wire connects to a MINUS (-) terminal and
the Red wire to a PLUS (+) terminal.

Channel Power Amplifier to the Crossover Networks,
and to a pair of McIntosh Subwoofers as indicated in

produces a 6dB reduction in Tweeter level. When fac-
ing the terminal side of the crossover, cut the wire loop
