For tri-wiring: (See diagram # 3) Remove all the gold jumpers on the speaker and wire with separate wires to each of the low, mid and high ter- minals going to the appropriate + or - terminal of its appropriate channel of your amplifier. It is critical that all + terminals on each speaker be connect- ed to only the + terminal of its appropriate channel (center to center) on the amplifier and all - terminals only get connected to the - terminal of its appropriate channel on the amplifier. Please note, however, that higher per- formance will be achieved by running a separate full-range low-level signal to the subwoofer and bi-wiring as described on the previous page.

Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember, most amplifiers put out their full-rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one.
