WIRING THE SPEAKERS

All Radio Shack auto sound systems

come with eight color-coded speaker

wires. This chart shows Radio Shack's

standard color codes.

For each speaker wire, match the nega-

ti ve conductor (wi th the black strip e) to the

negative (–) speaker terminal to ensure

proper phasing (+ to + and – to –). (Im-

proper phasing causes poor bass re-

sponse.)

Note: Other auto sound systems’ wires

might not use the same color codes. If

your auto sound system is other than a

Radio Shack brand, check its owner's

manual for the speaker wire color codes.

Connect the stereo's speaker wires to the

speaker s, using th e color code in the cha rt

as a guide. Then turn on your ster eo to be

sure that you connected the speakers

properly.

Caution: Do not connect any speaker

wires to chassis ground. Use all of the

specif ied wi res to co nnect t he spe akers t o

your vehicle's auto sound system.
