high-quality. The subs get half of the cables which may be overkill, but it will provide the best bass
performance. But biwire speaker cables tend to cost more.
Third best
: Speaker cables to the monitors and low-level signal via a pair of unbalanced (RCA)
interconnects from preamp outputs to the sub modules. This is requires longer run of ICs that is typically
less expensive than speaker cables. If your preamp has two sets of RCA outputs, use one set to drive the
main amp and the second set to drive the sub amps. If the preamp has only one set if outputs, use line
splitter connectors to create two sets of outputs. Connect the preamp outputs to the RCA inputs of the sub
amps in the back of the cabinets. Connect the speaker wires from the main amp to the monitor speaker
binding posts. Do not use the record outputs of the preamp (for a tape loop) since it sends a full signal to
the sub and you will have to use the sub volume control when raising the playing volume which is
inconvenient from the listening position.
Fourth best
: Speaker cables to the sub lower binding posts, then jumpers from the upper posts to the
monitors. In this option, it is an overkill to run expensive speaker cables to the subs as it needs little signal
and the use of a 125Hz. passive high-pass filter in the way probably degrades the sound somewhat for the
monitors. But you may choose this option if you have a very powerful amp that may be overpowered for
the monitors. Since only frequencies above 125Hz are passed to the monitors, it lessens the impact on
them.
Fifth option
: Speaker cables to lower posts of the subs then jumpers to the monitors. This is just like the
first option in reverse but it is not as good since the monitors are getting the signal after the jumpers. The
first option is preferable to this one.
Do not use household cleaners such as Windex or an alcohol-based cleaner to clean the finish as they
may dull and craze the shiny surface.
We recommend using Novus plastic cleaner and scratch remover that
can be purchased at any Harley Davidson store (used to clean shiny surfaces on motorcycles).
