mpedance

:

All CV XLS home speakers are compatible with amplifier ratings

from 4 to 8 ohms. If your amplifier is rated at 4 or 6 ohms, you can

generally play the speaker as loud and as hard as you want and

the energy transfer between the amplifier and your Cerwin-Vega!

speaker will be optimal. If using an 8-ohm amplifier, you can play

loud, but monitor your amplifier’s temperature if you start playing

at extreme volume levels, as the speaker may want to suck more

power from your amp than it can provide.

f

use

:

Replace only with the correct type and voltage fuse.

Failure to replace with the correct type and value can result in

driver failure that is not covered under your warranty.
