JBL Century Gold - Manual (Page 12)

Figures 8 through 10 show two bi-wiring options, single stereo amplifier
and dual stereo amplifier modes. For passive and bi-wire connections, set
the switch to the Normal/Bi-Wire position (Figure 8a).
1. The external “strapping bars” that normally connect the
Century
Gold’s
low-frequency and high-frequency terminals must be removed before
bi-wiring. To remove the shorting straps, simply loosen and slide the bars
off to the side (Figure 11).
2. Never connect two amplifiers to the same loudspeaker without first removing the
strapping bars. Operating two amplifier channels without removing the
strapping bars can seriously damage your amplifiers!
3. If you have hooked up your
Century Gold
loudspeakers in any of
the bi-wire configurations indicated, it is not advisable to use additional
speakers separately or simultaneously.
4. As with conventional one-amplifier connections, make sure that all
speaker cables are the same length.
