5. Make your speaker connections.
Make the connection between the output terminals of the amplier and
your loudspeakers, using high quality speaker wires.
Connect the black (–) terminals on the amplier to the black (–) terminals
on your speaker, and the red (+) terminals on the amplier to the red (+)
terminals on your speaker. If bi-wiring, run a total of four conductors
between each amplier channel and its corresponding loudspeaker: two
separate +/– leads, one for the bass and the other for the mids and treble.
Make sure that no wires cross between the red (+) and black (–) terminals,
at either end.
Make sure all the connections are snug and cannot be easily wiggled free,
but do not overtighten them. If you can give the speaker wires a reasonable
tug without movement, they are snug. Further tightening will not make a
better connection, and (taken to the extreme) may damage the connectors.
6. Double-check all your connections.
We understand that this step sounds redundant, but it is worth the extra
minute or two it might take just to ensure that all connections are correct
and secure before plugging the power cables to the AC outlets.
7. Turn on all the other components in your system, and then
turn on your amplifier.
It is always good practice to turn any power amplier on last, and to turn
it o rst. Doing so prevents any turn-on/turn-o transients that might
originate in other components from damaging your loudspeakers.
