CONNECTING THE SPEAKER

You need speaker wire (not supplied) to con- nect the speaker to your receiver or amplifier. We recommend you use wire that is color-cod- ed or marked on one side. Use 18-gauge or larger speaker wire for distances up to 50 feet. For greater distances, use 16-gauge wire. Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of speaker wire.

Note: For maximum bass response and the best overall performance, be sure the polarities match when you connect the speaker to the re- ceiver or amplifier (positive to positive and neg- ative to negative).

1.With the speaker in its appropriate loca- tion, measure the distance from the speaker to the receiver or amplifier. Then route the proper length of speaker wire from the speaker to the receiver or ampli- fier.

Cautions:

Avoid routing the speaker wire near other electrical wires.

Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.

2.Split apart 4 inches of speaker wire on each end.

3.Strip 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire’s end. Then twist the ends of the wire to secure any loose strands.
