AMP HOOKUP
NOTE: USE WITH 2 OHM COMPATIBLE AMPLIFIERS. NOT ALL AMPLIFIERS ARE STABLE INTO A 2 OHM LOAD
(ESPECIALLY IN BRIDGED MODE). PLEASE CONSULT YOUR AMPLIFIER'S OWNER'S MANUAL.

Getting Started

Please inspect your loudspeaker(s) carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer if you notice any damage or missing items.
Keep the carton and packing material; this will do the best job of protecting your speaker(s) if they must be transported.
Safe Limits of Operation
Damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than
it can produce at low distortion levels. This is usually beyond the "noon or 1 o'clock" position on the volume control. Operation
at this level can result in very high levels of audible distortion originating in the amplifier, which can add a harsh, gritty sound
to your listening material. Contrary to popular belief, a speaker is more likely to be damaged by trying to get too much volume
from a low-powered amplifier or receiver than from a high-powered one.
Technical Assistance or Service
If, after following the hookup directions, you experience difficulty, please double-check all wire connections. Should you
isolate the problem to the speaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase, or contact Polk
Audio Customer Service. Polk Audio's Customer Service Department is available from 9am–6pm, EST, Monday through Friday,
