With the speaker placed at the desired
location, measure the distance from the
speaker to the amplifier. Use 18-gauge
speaker wire for a distance of 50 feet or less.
For a distance greater than 50 feet, use
heavier 16-gauge wire.
For the maximum bass response and overall
best performance, connect the speaker in
phase (– to – and + to +).
Speaker wire is either color-coded, with a
different color on each side, or coded with a
ridge or stripe on one side to identify the
wire's different sides, making the connection
easier. RadioShack stores sell speaker wire to
meet most needs.
Follow these steps to prepare the wire and
connect the speaker.
1. Separate the wire conductors for a
length of about 2 inches, then remove
about
1
/
inch of insulation from the
2
wire' s ends using a wire stripper.
1 /2 Inch
2. Turn the speaker' s negative (–) terminal
counterclockwise to loosen it and insert
one of the wire ends into the opening.
2 Inches
Then turn the terminal clockwise to
tighten it.
3. Turn the speaker' s positive (+) terminal
counterclockwise to loosen it and insert
the other wire end into the opening.
Then turn the terminal clockwise to
tighten it.
4. Using the speaker wire' s coding as a
guide, connect the other end of the
speaker wire to the amplifier' s
corresponding (+ or –) speaker
terminals.
