Connect the amplifier/receiver’s speaker 
output terminals to the subwoofer’s 

HIGH 

LEVEL INPUT

 terminals. Be sure to 

connect the terminals in phase, connecting 
positive (+) to positive and negative (–) to 
negative. Wiring the subwoofer with + to – 
causes reduced bass performance. To 
match the subwoofer’s polarity with your 
system’s polarity and receive full bass 
response, slide the 

PHASE

 switch to 

REV

 

or 

NOM

. Choose the setting that provides 

the greatest bass output.

If you use Megacable or any other high-
quality, low-gauge speaker wire, the 
terminals will be too small to 
accommodate the wires from both the 
speaker (left or right) and the subwoofer. 
You need two pairs of speaker pins (RSU 
10458503) to make the connection. 
Follow these steps to connect the wires to 
each terminal using speaker pins.

1. Twist together the ends of the wires 

from the left (or right) speaker’s 
positive terminal and the amplifier/

receiver’s left (or right) positive 
speaker terminal.

2. Position the twisted wire ends 

between the open barrel ends of the 
speaker pin.

3. Using a pair of pliers, crimp the open 

barrel ends of the speaker pin to hold 
the wire ends in place.

4. Plug the speaker pin into the proper 

terminal on the subwoofer.

Once you have made all connections, 
follow these steps to adjust the volume.

1. Rotate the control on the front of the 

subwoofer to its lowest setting.

2. Turn on your amplifier/receiver and 

another component (such as a radio, 
cassette player, CD player, or 
turntable).

3. Begin playing an audio source (such 

as a CD) and adjust the amplifier/
speaker’s overall volume to a 
comfortable level. Rotate the volume
