Reference

Protecting the speaker cord

The bare ends of the speaker cord can be affected by exposure to the elements. This is espe- cially true of salt water or water containing chemicals such as chlorine or fertilizer. You may use a silicone caulking material, such as RTV adhesive, to protect the connections. It is com- monly available at hardware stores. If you do use caulking, apply it only after the cords are connected. Check the connections annually, and reapply as needed.
