[QUOTE="sumone, post: 360318, member: 551481"] Just got my usx4065 today. 65Wx4ch. Got the cdt-61s a couple days before, so I've just been browsing through the manuals and planning my install. however, I got to the page in the 4065 manual where it shows how to wire for tri-mode operational output ("a unique feature which allows a subwoofer to be operated in mono mode, while the main speakers are playing in stereo") and it looked nothing how I thought it would. I thought: Hook up up cdts to channels 1 & 2. bridge the sub on 3 & 4. in other words, (2) positive/negative sets going into corresponding channels 1 & 2, then a wire from sub going to negative of ch3 and other wire going to positive of ch4. I looked at the book and didn't understand it. from the looks of it, it looks like they run 2 speakers and 1 sub off channels 1&2, and another 2 speakers and 1 sub off of channels 3&4. So in total, they're running 4 speakers and 2 subs. I guess if I had 4 speakers and 2 subs, that's how I might wire it, but what about in my case? 2 speakers and 1 sub? Am I still right with doing each speaker on their own channel, and the sub bridged over 2 channels? I tried to attach a picture of the page in the book but it wouldn't work. It's still going to be some time before I try and install this stuff since I'm waiting on my sub and kick panels to come. [and a box]. Also since this will be my first installation attempt and it's cold as hell outside and snow on the ground I still gotta wait some more. [/QUOTE]
