Connecting the Loudspeaker

NOTE: All loudspeaker connections must be made with the amplifier turned OFF for safety.

All cables run outdoors or buried should be properly certified for such use. If you have any questions regarding which cable is appropriate for your installation, please consult with a professional. Make certain that there are no obstructions in the planned wiring location before proceeding. Many states and municipalities have specific notification requirements before digging. Make sure to check with your local building authorities as required prior to digging.

Connect the wire from the amplifier to your loudspeaker making sure to match polarity so that the negative wire from the amplifier (normally black) matches with the negative wire from the loudspeaker and do the same with the positive wires. Final connections should be made with either silicone filled wire connectors, or the appropriate junction boxes.

After all loudspeaker connections have been made, connect the wires to your amplifier and power on your amplifier. Verify the satisfactory performance of each loudspeaker before covering any exposed trenches or conduit used for your wiring.
