connect both speakers
identically: (+) on the

weak bass and a poor

*The maximum recommended amplifier power rating will
ensure proper system headroom to allow for occasional
peaks. We do not recommend sustained operation at these
maximum power levels.
Occasional refinements may be made to existing products
without notice but will always meet or exceed original
specifications unless otherwise stated.
