In this case, it is necessary to observe the polarity | R | L || R | L |, otherwise the system will not function. If the subwoofer does not have a latch type connection but a tulip connector, then a double audio cable with a double RGD connector is used at both ends.

4

Plug the subwoofer into the network, while activeThe speakers will operate in passive mode. Otherwise, if the speakers are powered, there may be a conflict between amplifying systems, which will lead to a background of sound reproduction or the failure of acoustic devices.
