Speaker Connections 
SPEAKER PHASING: TO OBTAIN STABLE IMAGING AND FULL BASS RESPONSE, IT IS IMPERATIVE 
THAT STEREO SPEAKERS BE CONNECTED "IN PHASE" WITH EACH OTHER.  YOU CAN VERIFY THIS 
AS FOLLOWS: 
1.  If the "+" (positive) and "–" (negative) terminals on your speakers are correctly marked, and visible, and you 
have wired the system with the positive speaker connector on the rear of the BXAUDIO4X4 
Controller/Amplifier connected to the positive connector on the speaker and the negative speaker connector 
on the rear of the BXAUDIO4X4 Controller/Amplifier connected to the negative connector on the speaker, 
then the system will be "in phase".  No further action is required. Most manufacturers identify the positive 
terminal with a red binding post, a "+" sign, or a red dot. 
2.  If you are unsure of the markings, you can verify the phasing. Using a mono sound source, such as AM 
radio, alternately reverse the leads to one of the speakers.  Pick the connection that delivers a solid center 
image between the speakers as well as best bass response. 
CAUTION:  After lead ends are inserted and the screws tightened down, be sure there are no free strands 
that could cause shorting!
