Attaching the speaker to the bracket
1. Thread the knobs halfway into the ends of the speaker, leaving about ¼
inch (6 mm) of their threads exposed.
2. Slip the knob threads into the "C" slots in the mounting bracket.
3. Rotate the speaker to show the terminals.
Connecting the speaker
1. Strip 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) off the end of the cable jacket. Then strip
½ inch (1.3 cm) of insulation off each wire.
2. Twist the wire strands together so there are no strands separated from
the bundle.
3. Connect the wires to the speaker terminals, being sure to observe proper
polarity. For standard speaker cable with red and black wires, connect
the red wire to the red positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the black
negative (–) terminal.
Note: Some speaker cables may have other ways of designating polarity.
Cable with a clear jacket may has a copper-colored wire for positive and a
silver-colored wire for negative. In a cable with white and black wires, the
white is positive and the black is negative. Cable with both wires the same
color may have grooves, ribs, or stripes on the positive wire.
4. Check to make sure there are no stray strands of wire outside the
terminals. If there are, remove the wire, twist the strands together, and
reconnect the wire to the terminal.
Final Assembly
1. Rotate the speaker to the desired angle. If you are installing the speaker
outdoors in the horizontal position, rotate it so the front points down
toward the listening area.
2. Tighten the knobs on both ends.
3. Slip the end caps onto the ends of the speaker, from the rear to the front.
