• Once you have cut the hole, pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect the speaker. Strip 1/2" inch (12 mm) of insulation
from each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand.
Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect
the wire from the red terminal (+) of your amplifier or receiver to the red terminal (+) on your speaker and the wire from the black
terminal (-) of your amplifier or receiver to the black terminal (-) on your speaker. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding,
ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency [Figure 11a]. In the case of the DT 6.5STR single
speaker stereo model, both left and right channel speaker wires are connected to the speaker [Figure 11b].

• Push down on the top of the terminal
to reveal the wire hole in the side of
the terminal post and insert the wire
into the hole [Figure 12].
Release the pressure on the terminal
to secure the wire.
• Loosen the rotating lock arms by turning the lock arm screws on the front of the speaker counter clockwise 1⁄2 to 1 turn, just enough
to allow the lock arm to move freely. [Figure 13]. Make sure that the rotating lock arms are flipped inwards [Figure 14] so that your
speaker fits into your cutout.
Lock arm screws.
Turn counter clockwise
to loosen.
