Figure 3.  Installation Using Speaker-Level Inputs

Caution!!!

To avoid damage to your main amplifier, be sure to maintain correct polarity when making all connections. Red (positive) to red,

and black (negative) to black. Be sure that all connections are tight, and that there are no loose strands or frayed wires.

Figure 3 shows an easy way to connect your Chrysalis subwoofer directly to your receiver or integrated amplifier, if it lacks line-level outputs.
You may also connect your satellites directly to your receiver or amplifier along with the subwoofer. Your receiver or amplifier will not notice
the additional load of the subwoofer due to the high input impedance.
