FIGURE 2  -  CONNECTING TO A STEREO AMP OR PREAMP

USING SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS

(MX-70B, V-125, V-75 Mk II, VX-7 Mk II only)

Some M&K subwoofer owners hook up their Subwoofer by connecting it to their receiver or

amplifier using speaker wires.  To do so, you make the same kind of connections that you would use
for your Satellite (or main) speakers, except that both the left and right channels go to the Subwoofer.
(If you are using two Subwoofers, connect one channel only to each Subwoofer).

NOTE: You cannot connect the MX-700, MX-200, MX-125 Mk II, or MX-105 Mk II using

speaker wires.  If you are connecting one of these to an amplifier or receiver without RCA outputs,
please contact your dealer or the M&K factory.   We offer an optional RM-2 High Level to Low Level
convertor with Remote Volume Control, which will allow you to drive these subwoofers with speaker-
level amplifier outputs.

1.

Run speaker wire between the Amplifier's Left channel output terminals and the
Subwoofer's Left channel "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminals.

a.

Connect the Amplifier's Left channel Positive (+) terminal and the Subwoofer's
Left RED (+) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal.

b.

Connect the Amplifier's Left channel Negative ( — ) terminal and the Subwoofer's
Left BLACK ( — ) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal.

2.

Make matching connections for the Right channel.  See Figure 3 on page 8.

If you have one Preamp Output, connect both the Subwoofer and the Amplifier to it.
