Connect the Loudspeakers
WARNING! There is a potential of having dangerous voltage at the
output terminals on the rear of the amplifier. Use caution not to touch
these contacts. Make sure the Power switch is off prior to making
anyconnections.
NOTE: The output connector is capable of handling up to 8 AWG for
stranded wire.
1. Connect the loudspeaker wiring to the 8-pin Euro-style connector as needed for your
amplifier's configuration.
2. Install the female 8-pin Euro-style connector onto the male connector on the rear of
the amplifier as shown in
Figure 11
.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the connector.
IMPORTANT! The CX-Q series of audio power amplifiers are high
power amplifiers designed for installation use in both Lo-Z and Hi-Z
applications. Proper wiring class/size is required to ensure safe operation.
Based on operating mode, these amplifiers are designed for use with the
following speaker wiring:
• FAST Channel Configuration Mode: Single Channel & Parallel = Class 2 wiring
• FAST Channel Configuration Mode: BTL (140 V or 200 V modes) = Class3wiring
