SPEAKER WIRING

Diamond Audio recommends using speaker wire of at least 16 gauge. Lay out

the wire in the vehicle from the individual speaker locations to the amplifier(s).

Observe safe wiring precautions.

Your D5 Professional Reference Series Amplifier will accept speaker wire up to

10 gauge directly. Locate the speaker terminal block on the end of the

amplifier. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the wire, insert the

wire into the terminal, and tighten the Allen screw. Repeat for all speaker

wires. Please observe our recommended minimum speaker impedances to

prevent possible damage.

Banana Jacks using up to 8 gauge wire can be inserted into the speaker block.

Remove the set screw completely and insert the Banana Jack into the end of

the block.

BRIDGING

All pairs of Diamond Audio D5 amplifier channels are capable of being

bridged to a 4 Ohm mono output. Creation of the mono channel is

accomplished by using the left channel positive (+) output connection of the

amplifier for the speaker positive and the right channel negative (-) output

connection of the amplifier for the speaker negative.

Note:

It is important that a 4 Ohm minimum total speaker impedance

load is observed when bridging the amp! If an impedance load of less

than 4 Ohms is used, you will eventually damage your amplifier and

void your warranty.

RCA INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
