INSTALLATION— Continued

Before You Start…

Take a brief moment to read these recommendations:

1.Always shut off the power to all components before installing!

2. To achieve best sound we always suggest using the highest quality RCA ca-

bles and speaker wire possible.

3. If your cables are not individually identified (ex. red or black bands ), you may

wish to mark the RCA cables at both ends to designate right and left cables. If

you lose track of which cable is which, this will save you the trouble of tracing

each the all the way back to the terminal.

4. When running speaker wire over long distances, use heaver (lower gauge)

high quality wire.

5. Always double check wire polarity before and after connecting. Accidentally

connecting the positive wire to the negative terminal and vice versa will result in

noticeably reduced sound quality and poor imaging. If you have trouble indentify-

ing the polarity, remember that the positive wire is usually labeled; commonly by

color, writing or rib on the wire jacket, or a thread within the wire strands.

6. Before connecting speaker wire to a terminal; twist the uncovered, copper

wire strands together so that they all can be neatly inserted into the terminal. If

strands are left loose and make contact with the terminal or wire of the opposite

polarity, they will cause a short that could damage your equipment.

7. The main point about stereo hookup is to make sure that low bass frequen-

cies are properly directed to the subwoofer only, and not to the satellite speak-

ers.

Choose The Wiring Method That Best Suits Your Equipment

1. Utilizing the RSL Speedwoofer’s Built-in High Pass Filters

Separate Preamplifier and Power Amplifier Required

For this method you will be sending the sound from your preamplifier to your

RSL Speedwoofer

where it will then be sent to your power amplifier with the bass

filtered out. This is the preferred method if your audio components are in reasonably

close proximity to your Speedwoofer. If your Speedwoofer is a considerable distance

away, be aware that long RCA cables can pick up interference, especially if they are

not high quality. This hookup method requires four RCA cables and two speaker ca-

bles.
