Polk Audio 650 instruction manual HOOK-UP Options

Strip 1/2" of insulation from each of the two conductors on both ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of each conductor to form two un-frayed strands. Connect two conductors to the receiver or amp (refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your electronics for assistance with proper hookup). Connect the two conductors on the other end of the wire to the speaker terminals. Repeat for the other channel.

To connect wire to the binding post, unscrew the plastic hex nut on the bind- ing post and insert the bare wire into the hole near the base of the binding post. Do not insert the insulated part of the wire into the hole; this will not give you a good connection. Twist the hex nut back down the binding post until it firm- ly meets the wire. Do not over-tighten.

HOOK-UP OPTIONS

The PSW650 offers a wide range of hook-up and use options. Each option has advantages and potential down- sides. The option that is best for you depends on your electronics, main speakers and your personal taste. Read all the options before selecting.

The hook-up method will have a large impact on the “blending” between your main front speakers and the subwoofer. A poor blend will sound unnatural; you will be more aware that the main and subwoofer speakers are two separate units. In a well-blended system, you will not be able to pinpoint the location of the subwoofer in the mix. Experiment with alternate options to find the method that works best for you.
