Turn Off All Power
Before completing the installation, you must connect
your speakers to your system. First, turn off all audio-
system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make
your connections. Use at least #16-gauge speaker wire
with polarity coding. Heavier-gauge wire is recommended
for larger distances. Consult the chart above or your
dealer for recommendations. The side of the wire with
a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive (+)
polarity. Also, consult the owner’s manuals that were
included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm
connection procedures.

Observe polarities when making speaker connections,
as shown in Figure 4. Connect each + terminal on the
back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red)
terminal on each speaker. Connect the – (black)
terminals in the same way.

Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – , or – to +) when
making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging
and diminished bass response. Be certain that positive
and negative wire strands are completely isolated to
avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment.
