amplifier.

To make connections:

1. Cut the ends of the wire to length, allowing some free play (about 6 inches of slack) to allow for movement

when physically connecting the wire.

2. Using wire strippers, remove 1/2 inch of insulation, then twist the wire to ensure that no stray strands are

evident.

3. Define positive (+) and negative (-) at the amplifier end and the speaker end of the wire run and use the same

conductor on each end.

4. Lift up each flip-lock connector until it is locked in the up position. Place the bare lead from each speaker wire

into the holes of the flip-lock terminal of the A12, maintaining the polarity of each lead (+ to +, - to -).

• Use 28-16 AWG Stranded Copper Speaker Wire

• Amplifier is Rated at 8 Ohms.

Do Not Configure Impedance Below 8 Ohms.

• The amplifier is NOT bridgeable. Do NOT

attempt to bridge or combine channels.
