Seasons Landscape Collection™ Manual
For most applications, we recommend wiring all subwoofers on a designated wire
run and satellites on a separate wire run. This will allow the Crown CDi amplifier
to use the presets with active crossovers that remove the bass from the satellites,
more effectively controls how the subwoofer interfaces with the satellites, permits
you to control the subwoofer-to-satellite balance and has the custom DSP (digital
signal processing) assigned to subwoofers and satellites separately.
All speakers on a wire run -- satellites or subwoofers -- can be daisy-chained (wired
in parallel). Subwoofers will need to be on CH1 and satellites on CH2.

Another option that you may be more familiar with allows you to daisy-chain
satellites and subwoofers on the same wire run(s). With this approach, the Crown
presets still use custom DSP but the crossover between satellites and subwoofer
is passive. Subwoofer(s) can be connected to either channel anywhere in the
chain. When using more than one subwoofer, evenly distribute them between the
two channels.
