3. Connexions de câblage
The US08 is a passive subwoofer and requires an external amplifier (not included) for operation. Ensure your amplifier is capable of driving a 2-ohm or 4-ohm load, depending on how you configure the subwoofer's impedance (if selectable, though the description implies it supports both). Connect the subwoofer to the amplifier's subwoofer output terminals using high-quality speaker wire.
- Connexion positive (+) : Connect the positive terminal of the subwoofer to the positive output terminal of your amplifier.
- Connexion négative (-) : Connect the negative terminal of the subwoofer to the negative output terminal of your amplifier.
- Ensure all connections are tight and free from frayed wires that could cause short circuits.
- Route all wiring safely, away from moving parts, sharp edges, and heat sources.
