SPEAKERCONNECTIONSConnection TipsRefer to page 4 of the SS88IWS sub-woofer owner’s guide for generalinformation on speaker-wire con-nections. This manual includes con-nection guidelines that are specificto the SS88IWSBB back box.To use the push-type terminals onthe connections panel supplied withthe SS88IWSBB back box enclosure,depress the colored cap until thepass-through hole in the bindingpost is revealed. While holding thecap down, insert the bare end ofthe wire, or a banana plug, into thepass-through hole. Release the capand tug gently on the wire to ensurethat it is secure.Since the SS88IWS is a passiveloudspeaker, only speaker-level con-nections are available. Dependingon whether you are using a dedi-cated subwoofer amplifier or yourmain receiver/amplifier to power theSS88IWS, select one of the two con-nection methods that follow.Connection Method #1Use this method when you areusing the SS88IWS with your mainreceiver/amplifier. Connect the mainleft and right speaker-level outputson your receiver/amplifier to theInput 1 (for left channel) and Input 2(for right channel) connectors on theSS88IWS connection panel. Connectthe Output 1 terminals to the corre-sponding terminals on your front leftspeaker, and the Output 2 terminalsto the corresponding terminals onyour front right speaker.NOTE: When using ConnectionMethod #1 with only one SS88IWS,the shorting straps must beremoved.If you are using two SS88IWS sub-woofers, connect the left speaker out-puts on your receiver/amplifier toInput 1 on one subwoofer’s connec-tions panel, and the right speakeroutputs on your receiver/amplifier toInput 1 on the second subwoofer’sconnections panel. Then connectOutput 1 from the left-channel sub-woofer to the inputs on your mainleft speaker, and Output 1 from theright-channel subwoofer to theinputs on your main right speaker.When using the SS88IWS in thismono mode, you should not removethe shorting straps.Connection Method #2Use this method when you areusing the SS88IWS with a dedicatedsubwoofer amplifier. Connect yourmain receiver/processor’s line-levelsubwoofer output to the line-levelinput on your subwoofer amplifier.Connect the speaker terminals onyour subwoofer amplifier to eitherInput 1 or Input 2. If your amplifierhas stereo outputs, you may con-nect one channel to each of Inputs 1and 2. However, you must removethe shorting straps when usingstereo mode. Alternatively, you mayconnect each channel to a separateSS88IWS. When using only oneinput on an individual SS88IWS, youshould leave the shorting straps inplace.Using the SS88IWSBB Back BoxWhichever connection method youchoose to install the SS88IWSBBback box, you will need to connectall of the eight wires coming out ofthe bottom of the back box to theappropriate terminals on the loud-speaker.
