assignments.
OUTPUTS: Install a jumper wire between the
positive outputs of both Channel 1 and Channel

tive (+) speaker lead to Channel 1 positive
output of amp; connect negative (-) speaker lead
to Channel 2 negative output of amp. Refer to

ments. Make sure the Mode switch is set to the
“Parallel” position when operating in Parallel-
