The SW10JM has 5-way binding posts that accept all types of wire ends.

Be sure to wire the subwoofer “in-phase”— positive (red) terminal on the ampliﬁer output must be connected to the corresponding positive (red) terminal on the subwoofer and likewise negative (black). Most speaker wires have markings along one or both conductors to help you make the correct connections. Take care to wire

Figure 4. 5-way binding posts the subwoofer correctly in-phase, before ﬂoors/ceiling are sealed.

WIRING FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION

For best results, avoid running speaker wire near AC wiring, as it may induce a 60Hz hum in the audio signal. It’s a good idea to run the speaker wire after the electrical wiring has already been completed, so that you can route the speaker wire at least three feet away from the electrical wiring. If speaker wire and AC wiring must run parallel, install the wire within a metal conduit.

NOTE: THE SW10JM IS DESIGNED FOR INTERIOR IN-FLOOR OR IN-CEILING INSTALLATIONS BETWEEN STANDARD JOISTS 10” TALL OR GREATER. INSTALLATION IN OUTDOOR LOCATIONS OR IN MOISTURE-PRONE INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS INDOOR SWIMMING POOLS OR SAUNAS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

CAUTION: ALWAYS CHECK FOR ELECTICAL/HEATING/PLUMBLING APPARATUS BEFORE CUTTING INTO CEILINGS OR FLOORS.
