1. Speaker Level Outputs

This is the connection to the Sunfire 

HRSIW8 in-wall subwoofer. Use high-

quality Class- speaker wiring. 

The red post is the positive output, and 

connects to the positive (red) post of 

the HRSIW8 subwoofer. The black post 

is the negative, and connects to the 

negative (black) post of the HRSIW8 

subwoofer. The five-way, gold-plated 

posts can accept bare wire, pins, spade 

terminals, and dual or single banana 

connectors.

The amplifier is designed to power 

only the Sunfire HRSIW8 in-wall 

subwoofer. No other subwoofer 

or speaker should be connected, 

or this may lead to serious damage to 

your equipment.

14. Voltage Select Switch

This switch allows the amplifier to be 

set to the local AC mains voltage, either 

115 VAC or 0 VAC.

Always unplug the power cord and 

all other connections, before mov-

ing this switch. Undo the two small 

screws and remove the protec-

tive plate covering the switch. Set the 

switch to the local AC mains voltage. 

Replace the protective cover.

15. Line Fuse

The subwoofer is supplied with a con-

servative

 

slow-blow type fuse to protect 

the electronics.

Always unplug the power cord 

before inspecting or changing 

the fuse. Never use a fuse with a 

larger current rating than shown 

on the markings next to the fuseholder. 

Use a small flat screwdriver to pry out 

the fuseholder and replace the fuse.

16. IEC Linecord socket

The amplifier comes with a detachable 

linecord which connects here. 

US (120 VAC) MODEL: Connect the 

linecord to the amplifier before connect

-

ing the other end to a 10 Volt, 60 Hz 

AC outlet. The outlet must have a cir-

cuit rating of 8 amps or more (a typical 

home circuit is rated at 15 amps).

Never plug the US (120 VAC) 

Model amplifier directly into 220-

40 Volts AC as this will cause 

catastrophic circuit failure.

European (230 VAC) MODEL: Connect 

the linecord to the amplifier before con

-

necting the other end to a 0 Volt,  50 

Hz AC outlet. The outlet must have a 

circuit rating of 4 amps or more.
