Wiring a room with four 8Ω speakers and one In-Ceiling Sub: using 2 zones of the D16 amplifier
Attach your source using the “line in” or “Bus in”
Run a single RCA cable from the “SUB OUT”
ZONE 1 to ZONE 2 “line in” on the left channel
Set Zone 1 to “ST” and ZONE 2 to “BR”
Attach all 4 of your speakers to zone 1 (2
speakers to the left channel and 2 speakers to
the right channel)
•
NOTE:
All 4 speakers MUST be 8Ω
Attach the installed IC-SUB 8 to ZONE 2
(BRIDGED).
Now play music and adjust the crossover on the
first zone and the gain knobs on both zones till
you get the music sounding the way you like.
Use your source volume to increase and
decrease the sound.
Special NOTE:
You can add additional IC-SUB-8’s in
the ceiling for more bass. See page 9 for details

How to wire the D16 to output a mono signal using the BUS inputs & outputs.
Mono Wiring
Using a “Y” cable, combine the audio signal (left
& right) together from your source and run it to
the BUS 1 input “LEFT”.
Use a single RCA cable and attach the BUS 1
out “LEFT” to BUS 1 in “RIGHT”.
Now you can hear that audio source come
through any speaker by choosing “BUS 1” for
that channel.
Special NOTE:
Mono is not poor sound (like in the
old days) it is just a lack of separation of both left
& right channels. Both left & right channels are
combined together and heard through one
speaker. Best used for outdoor systems or indoors
where the listener may move around and NOT be
located in the sweet spot between both speakers.
