SPEAKER CONNECTION
When we designed the
E150P and E250P powered
subwoofers, our goal was
to offer the user the best pos-
sible performance combined
with the most flexible and
complete installation options.
Please look over the following
three examples to determine
which description best
matches your system and
follow the corresponding
hookup instructions.
To use the binding-post
speaker terminals with bare
wire, unscrew the collar until
the hole through the center
post is visible under the collar.
Insert the bare end of the wire

through the hole in the post,
then screw the collar back
down until the connection is
tight. The holes in the center
of the collars are intended for
banana-type connectors.
Speakers and electronics termi-
nals have corresponding positive
(+) and negative (–) terminals. It
is important to connect both
speakers identically:
positive (+) on the speaker
to positive (+) on the amplifier
and negative (–) on the speaker
to negative (–) on the amplifier.
Wiring "out of phase" results in
thin sound, weak bass and a
poor stereo image.

NOTE: The speaker-level con-
nection method described on
the next page is not a
preferred connection
and should only be
resorted to if your receiver/
processor does not have a
line-level or subwoofer output.

installation expert if you have
any questions about how to
connect your subwoofer using
the speaker-level inputs.
