[. . . ] The capacitor rating should be as close as possible to 331. 25 (µF) and the coil rating should be as close as possible to 5. 3 (mH). 2CAUTION · If you wish to bridge-connect a speaker, the speaker impedance must be no less than 4 ohms. Connecting a speaker with an impedance lower than 4 ohms may damage the unit. · Be sure to connect capacitors to speakers to which high frequencies will be passed. Failure to do so will result in a drop of the combined impedance with the subwoofer. [. . . ]
