CONNECTING AND INSTALLING THE SPEAKER

1.At each speaker, separate the speaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each speaker wire.

2.On each set of speaker connectors, press down the spring-loaded lever, insert the ap- propriate conductor, and then release the lever, as shown in Figure 15. Gently tug on the speaker wire to make sure it is held in place. If not, repeat this procedure until it is.

NOTE: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY: POSITIVE (+) GOES INTO THE RED TERMINAL AND NEGATIVE (–) GOES INTO THE BLACK TERMINAL.

3.Connect the other end of each speaker wire to the receiver (or amplifier) in the same way. If you are unsure of wire polarity, see the next section, Checking Speaker Phase on page 20.

NOTE: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY: POSITIVE (+) GOES INTO THE RED TERMINAL AND NEGATIVE (–) GOES INTO THE BLACK TERMINAL.

4.Install the speaker baffle into its frame by inserting the tabs at the base into the cor- responding holes in the frame and pushing the speaker forward until the snaps engage, as shown in Figure 16.
