CONNECTIONS

With a pair of speakers placed in their approximate locations, measure the distance from each speaker to your re- ceiver/amplifier.

Use 18-gauge speaker wire for dis- tances of 50 feet or less. For distances greater than 50 feet, use heavier 16- gauge wire.

Note: For maximum bass response and the best overall performance, con- nect your speakers’ terminals to the corresponding terminals on the receiv- er/amplifier (+ to +, and – to –). You can easily make the proper connec- tions with coded speaker wire, avail- able at your local Radio Shack store.

1.Separate the wire’s two conduc- tors at both ends for a length of about 4 inches.

2.Strip the insulation from the ends of each conductor to expose 1/4 inch of metal wire, then twist the loose wire strands.

3.Turn the left speaker’s negative (-) terminal counterclockwise to loosen it and insert one of the wire ends into the opening. Then turn the terminal clockwise to tighten it.

4.Turn the left speaker’s positive (+) terminal counterclockwise to loosen it and insert one of the wire ends into the opening. Then turn the terminal clockwise to tighten it.

5.Using the speaker wire’s code as a guide, connect the wire from the left speaker’s negative (–) termi- nal to the receiver/amplifier’s left negative (–) terminal.

Then connect the wire from the left speaker’s positive (+) terminal to the receiver/amplifier’s left posi- tive (+) terminal.

6.Repeat Steps 1-5 to connect the right speaker to the receiver/ amplifier’s right terminals.
