introduction

Thank you for purchasing the 

SLS

 crown amplifier. The 

SLS

 crown 

amplifier has been preloaded with custom equalization to achieve 
maximum performance from the 

SLS

 satellites and subwoofers. when 

properly installed, this amplifier will provide you with years of outdoor 
entertainment pleasure. To get the most out of your new system, 
please read this manual thoroughly before you begin installation.

amplifier power planning 

The maximum number of satellites and subwoofers that can be used 
in a system will depend on the quantity of amplifier’s available power.

Before beginning an installation use the chart below to calculate 
the amplifier power your installation will require. multiple amplifiers 
may be required in large installations.

Unbalanced (most common)

To connect your audio source to the crown amplifier you will need 
cables with rca connectors on the source end and bare wire on the 

SLS

 amplifier end. The crown amplifier channels are labeled cH1 

and cH2. Both channels are identical so you can choose which 
to use for right and left depending on your personal preference.

attach the bare wires from your cable to the phoenix style 
connector provided in the amplifier box. note the location of the 
positive and ground wires on the phoenix connector. You must run 
a jumper wire from the ground terminal to the negative terminal; 
see figure 1.  

Balanced

when using the 

SLS

 in a commercial installation it might be 

necessary to connect the amplifier using balanced wiring.

connect the wires from your source equipment to the phoenix 
connector. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the 
wires to the phoenix connector. if your source equipment uses Xlr 
connectors please confirm the polarity or pin out of your source 
equipment before terminating the phoenix connector. See figure 2
