2.4.2 Making loudspeaker connections (IZA 250-LZ)

Note: Loudspeaker connections are the same for the ZA 250-LZ ampliﬁer.

1. Attach included crimp-on spade lug connectors to loudspeaker wiring. Blue spade lug connectors are compatible with 16-14 AWG wire. Red spade lug connectors are compatible with 22-16 AWG wire.

Note: You may need to bend the spade lugs to ﬁt.

2. Make a single loudspeaker connection or connect two loudspeakers in parallel. When connecting the loudspeakers in parallel:

i. Connect the wires from the ampliﬁer to the matching positive (+) and negative (–) terminals on the ﬁrst loudspeaker. ii. Connect the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of the ﬁrst loudspeaker to the positive (+) and negative (–)

terminals of the second loudspeaker.

Caution: Do not connect more than two loudspeakers together in this manner. Doing so could damage the ampliﬁer.
