CAUTION!

  In Tri- mode operation, the amplifier must see a 2 Ohm load or higher for the

stereo satellites and no lower than 4 Ohms for the subwoofer(s). 
Any lower than the above mentioned impedance will cause internal damage
to the amplifier.

Mid / Tweeter

4 Ohm

(2 Ohm Minimum)

All 2 channel amplifiers are capable of running both in Mono & Stereo mode. This feature
gives the amplifier the ability to run stereo satellites (midbass & tweeter) simultaneously 
with a mono subwoofer.

These connections are more complicated because they require the use of passive crossover 
networks (Not provided) to divide the frequencies to the  speakers.  We have included a sample 
diagram for 4 Ohm connections.  If you wish to use multiple speakers to achieve a lower 
impedance and higher power, it is strongly recommended that you seek professional advice 
from your Profile retailer before attempting to make these connections.

Please Note:

 In the Tri-mode configuration, the amplifier's built-in crossover must be set to
"FULL"(OFF) position.
