9. Connecting the Inputs
The subwoofer has both speaker and cinch inputs to be connected to the car radio.
If your car radio has cinch outputs, the subwoofer should be connected through the cinch inputs no matter what to
ensure high-quality playback.
But if your car radio is not provided with cinch outputs, you can connect the subwoofer to the speaker outputs without
the use of any additional devices or adapters.
Never use two different types of input (e.g. speaker and cinch inputs) at the same time.
When connecting the cinch inputs only use suitable shielded cinch wires. The use of other cables
might cause interference.
Keep the length of the cinch cables as short as possible.
Do not lay the cinch cables in the proximity of other cables. In this manner you can avoid stray
pick-up to the subwoofer input.
To avoid distortion or faulty tuning and that can possibly damage the subwoofer, always make
sure that the cinch inputs are connected only to sources which are provided with a cinch output
and that the speaker inputs by car radios are only connected to speaker outputs. For this, observe
also the connection data in the section “Technical Data”.
a) Connection via the cinch inputs
• Connect the cinch outputs of your car radio to the LINE IN connection (5) of the subwoofer.

LINE IN L

>
LINE IN R
• Put the switch RCA/HIGH INPUT (8) into the RCA position.
b) Connection via the speaker inputs
• Connect the speaker outputs of your car radio with the subwoofer input HI-LEVEL INPUT (6).
L+ > left positive speaker output
L- > left negative speaker output
R- > right negative speaker output
R+ > right positive speaker output
• Put the PHASE (3) controller to the 0° position.
