5.Pull the speaker wire through the wire hole in the center of the mounting bracket. Align the bracket so that the holes all line up.
6.Use your hardware to attach the bracket to the mounting surface.
Connecting the Speaker
1.Separate the two conductors of the speaker wire so that at least two inches of each conductor are free.
2.Strip one half inch of insulation from the end of each conductor of the speaker wire.
3.If you have any connectors (gold pins or bananas) which you prefer to use, affix them to the stripped wire ends now. Only gold plated connectors should be used outside as they will not tarnish or corrode.
4.Use the bracket knobs to attach the speaker to the bracket. Do not tight- en the knobs completely. Angle the speaker so that the rear terminals are accessible.
5.Connect one stripped wire end (or connector) to the black and one to the red terminal. Pay attention to the markings on the wire. Each speaker must be connected to the amplifier in the same way.
