WARNING: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver or ampliﬁer and unplug it from the AC power (mains) outlet.

Preparing the speaker cord

Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. Usually one is ribbed or red (+), and the other plain or black (–). Direct-burial cable has a protective outer jacket around the wires. Consider the following guidelines before cutting any cords:

•Measure the length of cord needed to connect each speaker to your receiver/ampliﬁer

•Strip the outer jacket back 2". Strip the inner insulation on both wires back 1/2" (1.3 cm) (Figure 4).
