To connect the Danley PG118 subwoofer, it has two NL4 ("speak-on") connectors located on the rear panel. The subwoofer is wired as passive, so the two NL4 connectors are wired parallel. Do not plug two amp channels into the two NL4 connectors on pins +1 and -1. Pins +2 and -2 are also connected, allowing a separate signal to pass through the input cable to pins 2 of the second NL4 connector, effectively turning it into an output connector. The pinout for the passive connection is as follows:
1+ Positive Amp 1
1- Negative Amp 1
2+ Pass Through
2- Pass Through
To connect the Danley PG218 subwoofer, it can be run in two ways: bi-amp or passive. In the passive mode, the connection is made to pins +1 and -1. Pins +2 and -2 pass through from one NL4 to the other. In bi-amp mode, connect one amp channel to pins +1 and -1, and the other channel to pins +2 and -2 of the same NL4. Be sure to set the switch to bi-amp mode to avoid amp failure. The impedance of the woofers will be twice the passive mode when using bi-amp mode.
Please refer to the owner's manual for more detailed instructions and diagrams on connecting the subwoofers to an amplifier.
