Low-Level Connection
If you choose to use the low-level (RCA jacks), simply connect your subwoofer with high quality
shielded cables as shown in the diagrams. Use the diagram that best suits your connection
requirements. Please see the Important Note on the previous page for connection recommendations.
Using the Low-level Thruput
If desired, you can run a line level stereo signal through the 4.5 PBM and out to another unit. This way
you can add an additional subwoofer with minimal additional wiring. The signal that comes out of the
thruput jacks is unaltered from the input signal.
High-Level Connection
When using a discrete 5.1 channel receiver/processor, we recommend that you use the high-level
(speaker) inputs. Please see the Important Note on the previous page for connection
recommendations. Make sure to match the type and gauge speaker wire used to connect your main
speakers. We recommend that you connect your new 4.5 PBM Powered Subwoofer(s) using high
quality wire of 16 gauge or larger. There are many respected manufacturers in the audio industry that
specialize in speaker wire and interconnect cables suitable for your new system. We recommend that
you consult your local audio/video specialist for more specific information.

Warning: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always unplug all component
AC cords before proceeding with speaker and component connections! The last step in wiring your system is
plugging in the AC cords!
You can connect your 4.5 PBM by using a variety of connectors, or by removing 1/2" of insulation
from each wire end, twisting the strands of wire together, placing the wire through one of the post
holes and screwing down the nut tightly. We recommend that you check your local electrical codes to
make sure you are not using an improper connector.
It is important to observe polarity while making speaker connections:
red (+) terminals on the amplifier to red (+) on the speaker, black (-)
on the amplifier to black (-) on the speaker. Look carefully at the
wires you are using and note that one of the wires in each pair is
marked by either a different color, printing, ridges, or a thread
intertwined with the wire strands. By convention, the marked wire is
connected to the red (+) terminal.
Note (North America only): Due to the compact nature of the connector panel, we recommend using
“banana” plugs for connection to the 5-way binding posts.
