Speaker System Wiring Using a Line Out
This diagram illustrates a system installation with an external amplifier and subwoofer connected to zone 2 on the stereo using a line out. You can connect an amplifier and subwoofer to any or all of the available zones on the stereo.
NOTE:
You can connect speakers to the speaker wires for the internal stereo amplifier while using the line out on zones 1 and 2, although adjusting the volume affects both the speakers connected to the internal amplifier and the line out. This may result in uneven volume levels.
