JBL Speaker System - Connections; 8 Ohm Speaker Configuration; Subwoofer SB-2 Integration; Amplifier Impedance Load

Input - Simply connect the amplifier's "+" and "-" outputs
directly to the red
(+) and black (-) input jacks on the back of
the enclosure (see diag.
1).
- Since the loudspeakers have a rated
ce of
8R each, more than one speaker
usually be wired to one amplifier channel (see
See "amplifier impedance load" below.)
ating the Subwoofer SB-2 - Treat each input
Subwoofer as an
8R loudspeaker and wire into
lete system accordingly (see diag. 3). (See
er impedance load" below.)

Amplifier Impedance Load - When you connect more than one loudspeaker system to an amplifier channel, either by
twisting two wires together at the speaker location or via individual "home runs" from the speakers to the amplifier, the load
impedance to the amplifier drops. To find the maximum number of
8R speakers that can be wired in parallel to each
channel of your power amplifier, divide
8 by the amplifier's minimum impedance load recommendation (e.g. 8R Control@
speaker
+ 4R amp's minimum impedance = 2 speakers per channel, see diags. 2 & 3).
