Installation - Russound 5C51 Installation Manual

Installation

1. Remove the grille from the speaker, if applicable. Use the clamp (dog-ear)
to push the grille out from the back side.
2. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals:
• Leave about 2' (60 cm) of wire extending through the ceiling cutout.
• Pull the conductors apart so the last two inches are separated and
remove 1/2" (1.3 cm) of insulation from the end of each conductor.
• Twist the strands in each conductor into tight spirals.
• Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals. Connect
the Positive (+) conductor to the Red terminal and the Negative (-)
conductor to the Black terminal. Make sure that no stray strands of wire
are touching the other conductor or terminal.
• Single point speakers have four terminals; Right(+), (-) and Left(+), (-). Run
an extra pair of conductors and observe proper polarity when making
connections.
