Parallel Mono
The Sunfire Amplifier can be connected in
Parallel Mono to create an immensely power-
ful system. You will need one amplifier for
each speaker, unless you are driving a single
subwoofer for example.
• Using insulated speaker wire, join the
amplifier’s right and left positive
current source outputs together.
• Using insulated speaker wire, join the
amplifier’s right and left negative
current source outputs together.
• Connect your speaker to the current
source outputs as shown. Your
speaker will receive the combined
power of both amplifier channels.
Never use the voltage source
outputs for Parallel Mono, as this
will may cause overheating, distor-
tion and shutdown.
• Connect your preamplifier’s right
output to one of the amplifier’s right
input jacks.
• Connect the amplifier’s unused right
input to the left input with a short patch
cord.
• Alternatively, you can use a “Y” cable
to split the preamp output into two, one
to feed the left input and one to feed
the right input.
• The left speaker connects to your
second amplifier in exactly the same
way as shown. The left preamp output
connects to the right input jack of the
second amplifier.
This diagram shows two short lengths of
insulated speaker wires joining:
• The current source right positive
output post to the left positive post,
• The current source right negative
output post to the left negative post.
