9. Connecting a subwoofer

For this you will need an RCA to RCA cable. This can be either a stereo or a mono RCA lead.
If the subwoofer you’re using has a mono input, use the mono RCA lead to connect.
If the subwoofer you’re using has a stereo input, use the stereo RCA lead and connect the white end to the TI435 and match the opposite white and red ends with the subwoofer.
