20 W Stereo Integrated Audio Amplifier
– Cut a 4-inch long #18 black wire. Attach a quick-disconnect terminal to one end of the
wire.
– Observe the speaker connection barrier strip for the right channel output. Note that one
post is the “Ground” position and the other is the “8 Ohm” position. Using a pair of long-
nose pliers, fashion a small loop at the other end of the black wire. Attach to the right
channel Ground terminal from the component side of the PWB. Solder. While soldering,
position the board so it rests against the rear panel chassis and is parallel with the chassis
deck. Note that the solder connection ties together the black wire, the barrier strip post,
and the PWB mounting post. Use care when soldering to avoid contact with other wiring
in the chassis and/or the relay housing.
– Cut a 4-inch long #18 yellow wire. Attach a quick-disconnect terminal to one end of the
wire. Using a pair of long-nose pliers, fashion a small loop at the other end of the wire.
Attach to the right channel 8 Ohm terminal from the component side of the PWB. Solder.
Note that the solder connection ties together the yellow wire, the barrier strip post, and the
PWB mounting post. Use care when soldering to avoid contact with other wiring in the
chassis and/or the relay housing.
– Using two tie-wraps, bundle the wires running along the back panel where the left channel
speaker PWB will be mounted. Position the wire bundle about 1/2-inch away from the
back panel.
