- 4 ohm mono bridged.
Important: Do not be tempted to connect the hot, or positive outputs, from any
source together to obtain a mono signal, as this could very well damage the
output stage of that source.
- It is necessary to feed the SAME signal to both left and right inputs via a Y-
adapter RCA cable.
- Connect the mono speaker positive terminal to the LEFT +, and its negative
terminal to RIGHT - as shown.
