2-Channel mono configuration
In this configuration you can connect 2 speakers (such as 2
subwoofers) to the MX-5000 and send a single preamp signal (such
as a mono subwoofer output) to both speakers without using a Y-
adapter. The amplifier delivers its rated stereo power output to each
speaker.

switch to 6 Ω OVER and 6Ω OVER/2Ω switch to 6Ω OVER.
