Connecting to Your Amplifier

For maximum bass response and the best overall performance, it is essential that you keep your speakers in proper phase (connected + to +, and – to –). We recommend you use color-coded or marked wires to help you correctly connect the speaker to your sound system.

Note: Color-coded wires have a stripe; marked wires have ridges running along one of the conductors.

Measure the distance from the speaker to the amplifier. For distances of 50 feet or less, use 18-gauge speaker wire or ordinary lamp cord. For distances greater than 50 feet, use heavier 16-gauge wire.

If your speaker wire ends have banana plugs, simply insert them into the terminal openings without loosening the terminals.

Note: Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of speaker wire and banana plugs.

If your speaker wire ends are plain wire without plugs, follow these steps to connect the speaker to your amplifier.

1.Separate the wire’s two conductors about 1 inch at each end.

2.Remove about 1/4 inch of insulation from the ends of each wire.

1/4-Inch

1-Inch

3.Turn the speaker’s positive (+) terminal (with a red stripe) counter- clockwise to loosen it and insert one end of the ridged or striped wire into the opening. Then turn the terminal clockwise to tighten it.

4.Turn the speaker’s negative (–) terminal (with a black stripe) counterclockwise to loosen it and insert one end of the other wire into the opening. Then turn the terminal clockwise to tighten it.

5.Connect the other end of the ridged or striped wire to the amplifier’s positive

(+) output terminal.

6.Connect the other end of the unmarked wire to the amplifier’s negative (–) output terminal.
