TAG MCLAREN AUDIO PA20R SL User Manual - page 13
If you have two matched amplifiers (such as two TAG McLaren
Audio 100Ps), you can connect them as shown here.
This arrangement has the added advantage of allowing you to
place each amplifier close to the loudspeaker it is feeding, thus
enabling you to connect them together with short cables.
Connect OUTPUT left on the PA20R to INPUT left on one of the
100Ps and OUTPUT right on the PA20R to INPUT left on the other
100P. On each 100P connect OUTPUT left to OUTPUT right.
On each amplifier, connect one of the stereo outputs to the high-
frequency driver and the other to the low-frequency driver.

1. This simple connection method works with any combination of TAG McLaren
Audio F3 Series amplifiers because they have matched gains. If you want to
connect a different manufacturer’s amplifier, you may need to use an active
crossover or a gain-setting facility. Please contact your retailer for advice if you
wish to do this
