General instructions for connecting HELIX
speaker systems
We strongly recommend that you operate the com-
plete audio system at low volume before final instal-
lation. So you can check whether each speaker is
working before securing the loudspeakers into their
mounting locations.
Make sure that all speaker wiring is fully protected
from cutting or wear at sharp edges, which can lead
to short circuits that may damage your head unit,
amplifier and/or speaker system.
Make sure that all speaker wires are long enough in
order to avoid any mechanical stress on the wires
or the connectors.
Attention: Ensure that the loudspeakers are cor-
rectly connected (phase), i.e. plus to plus and minus
to minus. Exchanging plus and minus will result in a
significant loss of sound quality.
The positive leads of the loudspeaker system are
marked with a red stripe.
