SPEAKER LOAD
Keep in mind, FUSION Encounter series are high power amplifiers and not high current
amplifiers. In other words they require a minimum impedance of 2 ohms STEREO and 4 ohms
bridged MONO to operate trouble free. Too low an impedance could send your FUSION amplifier
into protection mode and/or damage the amplifier.
SPEAKER WIRING
Choose the correct speaker wire for your application. Most applications will require a minimum
of 16 gauge. Route the speaker wire using the same precautions you did when you ran the
power cables. Terminate these wires at the speaker end using insulated speaker terminals (not
supplied) or by soldering the connection. Make sure the speaker connections are positive to
positive and negative to negative. At the amplifier end, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the
speaker terminals on the amplifier. Connect the speaker wires and tighten the screws securely.
Check to make sure you’ve maintained proper polarity and balance.
