Notes on Speaker connections
Stereo Speaker Connection:
Note the polarity markings for each
pair of outputs.
The speaker impedance should be 2
Ohms minimum in stereo operation.
2 ohms means that you can connect two
4, 6 or 8 ohm subwoofers to
the RS 500 amplifier.
Speaker Wiring
Speaker Wiring
Establish a standard connection color
code and stick with it. One conductor
of the speaker wire is normally marked
by a different color (silver versus
copper) or there is a ribbing on one
side. Typically this marked conductor is
used for the positive (+) speaker leads.
Some wires have positive and negative
printed right onto the wire jacket.
Match the polarity markings on the unit
with the polarity markings on your
speakers. If the wiring is incorrect then
the speakers will be out-of-phase, with
a noticeable decrease in the bass re-
sponse and less than goodly-sounding
awesomeness.
See the next page for some handy in-
formation about speaker and wiring
impedance.
