Steps to Installing

Figure 29

Attaching wires to the terminals

Make the speaker connections

You need a Phillips-head screwdriver for this step.

Tip: Pay attention to maintaining the proper polarity (+ to + and – to –) with these connec- tions. An error here will adversely affect speaker performance. Also be sure to tighten each screw securely, but not enough to cause undesirable compression of the wire.

1.If you have not done so earlier, loosen the screws on both terminals.

2.Insert the end of the marked wire (+) into the positive (+) terminal and tighten the screw (Figure 29).

3.Insert the end of the unmarked wire (–) into the negative (–) terminal and tighten the screw.

CAUTION: Do not allow exposed wires to brush against each other, which could damage your components. Trim excess wire and reinsert as necessary.

4.Check for the consistent polarity (+ to + and – to –) of these connections at both the receiver/amplifier and the speaker.

Test the speaker now

With the connections still within reach, now is a good time to test the speaker to make sure it functions properly before you secure it in the wall.

It may be preferable to begin installing the second speaker now, before you test either one. When you get the second speaker connected, you can test both speakers, and make sure they are both functioning fine before proceeding with the installation steps for each one.

CAUTION: If you are testing the first speaker before the other one is connected, make sure the wire to that first speaker is the only one connected to the receiver/amplifier. This will avoid any risk of unattached speaker wires making contact, which can damage the receiver/amplifier.
