AT THE SPEAKER END

1.Cut off excess wire, leaving about 2 feet extending through the speaker cut-out hole.

2.Pull the conductors apart so they’re separated for the first two inches from their ends.

3.Using a wire stripper, diagonal pliers or a knife, remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor.

4.Twist the tiny strands in each conductor into tight spirals, as shown in Figure 4.

5.IMPORTANT: Route the speaker wire THROUGH the sheetrock as shown in Figure 5.

6. Attach the speaker wires to the red	Figure 4
6. Attach the speaker wires to the red

AT THE AMPLIFIER END

1.Cut off excess wire, leaving enough to comfortably reach from the hole in the wall to your stereo system. If there’s a possibility that you’re going to move the amplifier to another part of the room, con- sider leaving some excess wire coiled up. If you’ve used sufficiently thick wire, this extra length will not affect speaker performance and could make re-routing easier if the room is rearranged later.

2.Pull the conductors on both speaker wires apart so they’re separated for the last two inches.

3.Using wire strippers, diagonal pliers or a knife, remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor.

4.Twist the tiny strands in each conductor into tight spirals.

5.Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals on the amplifier or receiver.

*Connect the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal of the receiv- er/amplifier.

*Make sure that no stray strands of wire have gotten detached and are touching the other main wire.

Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the other speaker.
