A Single CM8SW Hook-Up
From the local volume control the four
conductor cable is run to the CM8SW and
connected to the Input connectors. A two
conductor wire is connected to each of the
stereo outputs and fed to the left and right
speakers. Now, the volume control will
raise and lower the volume for the sub-
woofer and the left and right speakers
simultaneously. Additionally, the crossover
is now connected so that the crossover
switches can be adjusted.

From the local volume control a two con-
ductor cable is run to each of the CM8SWs
and connected to either the left or the right
Input connectors.
Each of the satellite speakers must be con-
nected to the correct subwoofer. Typically,
a two conductor wire is connected to one
of the outputs on the left channel sub-
woofer and fed to the left satellite speaker
and another two conductor wire connects
the right channel subwoofer and satellite.
Now, the volume control will raise and
lower the volume for the subwoofer and
