your amplifier to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the amplifier to the black (-) terminal on your speaker. Most wire has some indication (such as color- coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consis- tency. If your Subwoofer does not seem to produce much bass, it is most likely that one of the speaker wires is con- nected backwards. Double-check all connections for correct polarity.

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 termi- nals. 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 (Fig. 11). Do not insert the insu- lated part of the wire into the hole, as this will not give you a good connection. Twist the hex nut back down the binding post until it firmly meets the wire. Do not over-tighten.
