Using the speaker base
Included with this speaker system is a speaker base for better sound, stability and safety. Place the speaker on the base as shown below.
Connecting to an amplifier
Before connecting to your amplifier, make sure that the amp is switched off.
This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to a stereo. Note the following when selecting speaker cables.
•Use
•Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind when using any cable.
•Select cables with as little resistance as possible, and make sure the cables to the speaker terminals and amp are firm and secure.
CAUTION
These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

Using the spikes
This speaker system includes spikes that you can use to isolate the speaker from the floor. Spikes are recommended when placing the speaker on a thick carpet (for added stability), or for better sound when placing the speaker on a hard reverberant surface (such as a concrete or wood floor). Use the supplied spike pads to avoid scratching the floor or other surface where the speaker is placed.

Nut
Speaker base bottom 
1Attach the spikes to the nuts provided.
2Attach all four spikes to the threaded metal inserts at the bottom of the speaker base.
3Choose the location for speaker placement then put the spike bases on the floor.
4Place the stand so that the spikes are resting on the spike bases on the floor.
Before placing the speaker on the speaker base, make sure the base is stable and resting squarely on all four spikes.
Caution: when using the spikes
•Note that these spikes are sharp metal and can cause damage to flooring. Make sure to lay down a cloth or suitable base before setting up.
Connecting the cables
1Switch off the power to your amplifier.
2Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals (lower) on the back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is positive (+) and black is negative
Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate them to the left
•You can also use banana plugs for this connection. To do so, you must first remove the caps from the terminal posts.
Short bar connectors

3Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp owner's manual).
•After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound.
•If the cables' wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp.
