All CV XLS home speakers are compatible with amplifier ratings

from 4 to 8 ohms. If your amplifier is rated at 4 or 6 ohms, you can

generally play the speaker as loud and as hard as you want and

the energy transfer between the amplifier and your Cerwin-Vega!

speaker will be optimal. If using an 8-ohm amplifier, you can play

loud, but monitor your amplifier’s temperature if you start playing

at extreme volume levels, as the speaker may want to suck more

power from your amp than it can provide.

normal Wiring: In this method, one pair of speaker wire is

used with one speaker and one amplifier channel. This method is

used in the majority of applications.

Connection: Attach speaker wires to either the Midrange

and Tweeter Input (2) or the Woofer Input (4) 5-way Binding

Posts making sure to leave the Jumpers Straps (3) in place.

Connect the other end of the speaker wires to your Receiver

or Amplifiers speaker output terminals (see your Receiver or

Amplifiers owners manuals for details on this connection).

Make sure to observe correct polarity (Red = +, Black = -) when

making these connections.

fuse: Replace only with the correct type and voltage fuse.

Failure to replace with the correct type and value can result in

driver failure that is not covered under your warranty.
