The XO2W-2.5K crossover is designed for integration into 2-way speaker systems. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Montavimas: The crossover board measures 6-1/2" W x 4-1/4" H x 1-3/8" D. It features eyelet holes for easy mounting within your speaker enclosure. Ensure the board is securely fastened to prevent buzzing or vibrations during operation.
2. Laidų jungtys: Identify the input and output terminals on the crossover board. The board is clearly marked for input (+ IN -), woofer output (+ W -), and tweeter output (+ T -).
3. Įvesties jungtis: Connect the full-range audio signal from your amplifier to the '+ IN -' terminals.
4. Woofer Connection: Connect your woofer to the '+ W -' terminals. The low-pass section of this crossover supports both 4 ohm and 8 ohm woofers, offering flexibility for various speaker designs, including D'Appolito style or multi-woofer 2-way systems.
5. Tweeter Connection: Connect your tweeter to the '+ T -' terminals. The high-pass crossover frequency is rated for an 8 ohm load.
