SPEAKER WIRING DIAGRAM—XA-5001/XA-8001 The XA-5001, and XA-8001 amplifiers offer two positive and two negative output termi- nals for ease of connecting the speakers to the amplifier. Since these are mono amplifiers, the speaker connectors are paralleled internally. Each amplifier is stable to 2 ohms. MONO XA-6004 ( - ) ( - ) ( + )
CROSSOVER SETTINGS AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT Your Xtreme Series power amplifier by Directed Audio needs to be adjusted carefully to achieve maximum performance. These are some guidelines to follow when fine-tuning the amplifier. For full-range and simultaneous stereo/mono bass applications, the crossover selec- tion switch should be set to FLAT.
