3.Choose the speaker cable that is labeled for the “Right” amplifier channel.

Connect one stripped end of the “Right” speaker cable coming from the amplifier to the RS8Si connection cable’s red wire. To connect the two wires, twist the stripped ends of the wire together and screw down the wire nut on the twisted wires. The material inside the wire nut will protect the stripped ends of the wire. However, if added protection is desired, place a large amount of silicon sealant so the bottom of the wire nut is encased and sealed. Pay attention to the markings on the speaker cable. Each loudspeaker you connect must be connected to the amplifier’s speaker wire in the same way.

4.Repeat step 3 with the RS8Si connection cable’s black wire, that is in the same conductor as the wire attached in step 3, and the other stripped amplifier “Right” speaker cable’s conductor.

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the “Left” speaker cable and the RS8Si’s connection cable with the “yellow/black” pair of conductors.

6.Connect the opposite end of the speaker cable to the amplifier or receiver. Start by performing step 1 and 2 on the speaker cable near the amplifier. Pay attention to the markings on the speaker cable conductor. Use the cable labeled “Right”and attach the same conductor you attached to the red loudspeaker wire to the positive (red) or (+) “Right” amplifier output terminal. Attach the other conductor in that cable to the amplifier’s “Right” negative (black) or (–) amplifier output terminal.

7.Using the cable labeled “Left” attach the same conductor you attached to the yellow loudspeaker wire to the positive (red) or (+) “Left” amplifier output terminal. Attach the other conductor in that cable to the amplifier’s “Left” negative (black) or (–) amplifier output terminal.

Connecting the loudspeaker in two-speaker stereo mode

1.Strip two to three inches of the speaker cables’ outer jacket away from the insulated conductors. Ensure that at least two inches of the separate conductors are free. Do this on both loudspeaker connection cables.

2.Strip one half inch of insulation from the end of each conductor as show in Figure 6 for both connection cables.
