5. Link the wire running from the amplifier's negative terminal to the speaker's negative terminal.
6. Link the wire running from the amplifier's positive terminal to the speaker's positive terminal.
7. Connect the positive terminals on each additional speaker
to the 1
speaker's positive terminal.

8. Connect the negative terminals on each additional speaker
to the 1
speaker's negative terminal.

9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until all speakers are connected.
Most constant voltage speaker installations will consist of
multiple speakers per channel, with all speakers connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram above.
NOTE: Connecting a 70V amplifier to a speaker set to the 8-ohm setting will damage the speaker.
Always set the speaker voltage tap to the proper system type before connecting the speaker wires.
8Ω SPEAKER SYSTEM
For standard 8
stereo speaker installations with only 2 speakers, link as
Ω
described in the diagram. When connecting more than 2 speakers to a
standard 8
stereo amplifier, use an impedance-matching speaker selector to
Ω
avoid complex series/parallel wiring. Before making each speaker wire
connection, strip about ¼" insulation from each end of each conductor, then
twist the strands to prevent stray any from causing a short.
1.
Power off and unplug all equipment to be connected.
2. Link the wire running from the amplifier's negative terminal to the 1
3. Link the wire running from the amplifier's positive terminal to the 1
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with the second speaker.
LISTENING TEST
1.
Set the volume on your amplifier to the minimum setting.
2. Plug in and turn your amplifier on, then start audio playback from your audio source.
3. Slowly increase the volume until it is at a comfortable listening level.
4. Check each speaker if the audio can be heard and if the relative volume levels are about the same.
Congratulations! Your speaker system is installed and ready for use.
