We recommend that you connect your subwoofer using high quality wire of 16 gauge or larger for lengths up to 25 feet. There are many manufacturers who specialize in speaker wire and interconnects suitable for your new system. We recommend that you consult your local audio/video specialist for more specific information.
Warning: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always unplug all component AC cords before proceeding with speaker and component connections.
You can connect your subwoofer by using spade lugs or “banana” connectors, or by removing 1/2" of insulation from each wire end, twisting the strands of wire together, placing the wire through one of the post holes and screwing down the nut tightly. Be
certain that no stray wire strands are touching across the two terminals as this might damage your amplifier
when you turn it on.
It is important to observe polarity while making speaker
connections: red (+) terminals on the amplifier to red
(+) on the speaker, black
on the speaker. Look carefully at the wires you are using and note that one of the wires in each pair is marked by
either a different color, printing, ridges, or a thread intertwined with the wire strands. By convention, the marked wire is connected to the red (+) terminal.
