    Make sure that even with the AC voltage drop the AC voltage always stays in the operating windows. If the 600-HP subwoofer shuts down due to either low or high voltage, its power supply automatically turns on again after three seconds if the voltage has returned to either nor- mal operating range.

It is very important that the system be properly grounded in order to line (brown) operate safely and properly. Figures 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 illustrate correct wiring for the creation of power cables and distribution systems.
