When connecting the amplifier to the speaker enclosure,
make sure to set the impedance selector switch on the rear
of the unit to the impedance that matches your enclosure.
When two enclosures of equal impedance are used, set the
switch to one half the impedance of one enclosure (e.g. two
16 ohm enclosures: set switch to 8 ohms; two 8 ohm
enclosures: set switch to 4 ohms). The 5150 is designed to
operate into a minimum of 4 ohms.
