APPLICATIONS – CS300.1
The CS subwoofer amplifier is a
single-channel amplifier. There are
two sets of terminals to make it easy
to connect multiple woofers. Either
set of (+/–) terminals may be used
when connecting woofers.
To the right are two application
diagrams to help plan your subwoofer
system installation. Figures 2 and 3
show how to configure the CS300.1
subwoofer amplifier.

NOTE: For simplicity, Figures 2 and 3

do not show power, remote and input
connections.
