3 Wiring Instructions

Introduction

The crossover is encapsulated in a sealed, non-accessible chamber in the
bottom of the speaker cabinet, to minimize the effect of vibration on the
components. The IDEA is equipped with a high-quality binding post for
connecting the speaker cables. Spade lugs are recommended for cable
termination.

Connecting the Speaker to the Amplifier

1. Carefully unscrew the large fastening knob on the binding post, allowing
the fastening plate to expose the posts (see Figure 3.1).
2. Insert the spades from your speaker cables under the terminal plate.
3. Fasten the spades in place by tightening the large fastening knob.
Figure 3.1 - Back view of the speakers showing the connections
from the amplifier to the loudspeaker. Check to insure the
correct polarity (positive lead connected to the (+) terminal
and negative lead connected to the (-) terminal).
Do NOT over-tighten the terminals.
