Tri-Mode Operation is a unique feature which allows two channels of an amplifier to 
drive a subwoofer operated in MONO mode, while simultaneously driving full range 
speakers in STEREO.

to determine the desired crossover frequencies.

Dual Tri-Mode Speaker Wiring

To engage the amplifier in this mode, place the Crossover (Subwoofer) switch in the 
"FULL" position. Use a 100v non-polar capacitor for a high pass crossover and a wire 
coil inductor to block high frequencies from the Subwoofer, as shown in the figure 
below. Please review the table below for inductor and capacitor component values
