amplifier or power amplifier to the 

High Level Input

of the subwoofer.

Use standard speaker cable and maintain po –, as well as right
and left side.

Speaker wires can be run onwards from the subwoofer directly to the
main speakers.  This replaces running wires from the receiver or
amplifier to the main speakers.  Twist the ends of each input wire from
the electronics together with the corresponding wire to the speakers
and insert them both into each corresponding input binding post of the
SubZero 

i

.  Be sure to avoid all contact between wires into the sepa-

rate binding posts.

2.

Connecting Stereo Equipment using Low/Line Level (SEE FIGURE 4,
page 17):

For this preferred connection, please see the instructions for

the SubZero 

i

. Additionally, you may need to use Y-connectors at the

Preamplifier Output

to also send signals to the 

Power Amplifier/Main

Input

.

Connecting Stereo Equipment with High/Speaker Level (SEE FIGURE
5, page 18):

You also can get excellent sonic results by connecting the

High/Speaker Level Output

of your receiver, integrated amplifier or

power amplifier to the 

High Level Input

of the subwoofer.  Use standard

speaker cable and maintain po –, as well as right and left side.

High/Speaker Level Output

from the subwoofer allows speaker wires

to be run onwards easily from the subwoofer directly to the main
speakers.  This replaces running wires from the receiver or amplifier to
the main speakers.  The signals from the SubSonic 5

i

to the main

speakers are looped through, full-range.

2.

Connecting Stereo Equipment using Low/Line Level (SEE FIGURE 4,
page 17): 

If your receiver or integrated amplifier has preamplifier out-

puts, or if you are using a separate preamplifier, the preferred connec-
tion is from the 

Preamplifier Outputs

of the electronics to the 

Low/Line

Level Inputs

of the subwoofer. Use a dual RCA audio cable and maintain

right and left. (You may need to use Y-connectors at the preamplifier
outputs to also send signals to the 

Power Amplifier/Main Inputs

.)
