  • Page 5: System Planning

    YSTEM LANNING Before wiring up an audio system that may not achieve the sound quality you want, be sure to choose a system concept that fits your listening requirements. Basic systems, a receiver with internal 4x20 watts and 4 coax speakers, are adequate for many listeners.

    OWER ONNECTIONS The power and speaker connections for this amplifier are explained in the summaries below and reference the numbered call-outs above. 1.)

  • Page 9 YSTEM ONFIGURATION Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range 2 Channel Full-Range Mode This installation is most popular for listeners who want to simply increase the power to the rear speakers in a car. The resulting performance is most commonly a louder overall sound field from the rear. But, such a system’s biggest benefit is the additional bass response since the bass control of the radio can be turned up without distorting the amplifier.
  • Page 10 YSTEM ONFIGURATION Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range Full-Range 2 Channel Dual Subwoofer Mode The largest improvement in sound quality always comes when adding some kind of subwoofer via a dedicated subwoofer amplifier and electronics crossover. The electronic crossover ensures minimal overlap of the bass response with the mid and high frequencies from the other speakers resulting in a more accurate performance compared to conventional coaxials with additional power.
