AMC manual Speaker Wire Termination at XOi

Step-by-Step Crimping instructions

Step1	Strip a 2 to 3 inches portion of the insulation, exposing the 4 twisted pairs.
Step2	Untwist the wires and fan them out individually. Arrange the wires into the
	correct color scheme as shown in Fig.1
Step3	Flatten the wires in their correct order, and trim them evenly across the top.
	Most crimp tools have a wire trimmer built-in. It is best to trim the wires to
	about 1/2 in length.
Step4	While holding the wires flat between your thumb and forefinger, insert the
	wires into the RJ45 connector, so each is its own slot. Push the wire into the
	RJ45, so all 8 conductors touch the end of the connector. The insulation jacket
	should extend beyond the crimp point of the RJ45.
Step5	Insert the RJ45 into the crimp tool receptacle and squeeze the tool firmly. Note
	that a ratchet type tool should tighten down until it no longer clicks.
Step6	The RJ45 should be firmly crimped to the Cat-5 insulation. It is necessary that
	the color scheme be repeated identically on each end of the wire.

It is important to keep the proper orientation of positive and negative signal for each speaker connection. Typically, two-conductor speaker wire uses red to denote positive and black to denote negative. Some types of wire indicate positive with dark line running through the insulation. Four-conductor wire can also be used. This has four separated wires in one outer jacket, making it possible to run a single speaker wire to a zone for its pair of speakers. This type of wire typically uses red and black for one speaker and white as positive and green as negative for the second speaker.
