Mount Speaker System is designed to
provide clean sound and superb perfor-
mance. Each speaker's 6
2-inch midrange, and 1-inch tweeter com-
bine to give you superb sound across the
entire audio spectrum. You can mount
your speakers on any solid flat surface us-
ing the supplied hardware. To get the
best sound from your speakers, please
read this entire manual carefully for the
proper wiring and mounting procedures.
We recommend that you temporarily wire
the speakers to your sound system before
you mount them, so you can test the
speakers and wire connections.
WIRING THE SPEAKERS
All Radio Shack auto sound systems
come with eight color-coded speaker
wires. This chart shows Radio Shack's
standard color codes.
Speaker Terminal
Left Rear Green (+)/Green-Black (–)
Left Front White (+)/White-Black (–)
Right Rear Violet (+)/Violet-Black (–)
Right Front Gray (+)/Gray-Black (–)
For each speaker wire, match the nega-
tive conductor (with the black stripe) to the
negative (–) speaker terminal to ensure
proper phasing (+ to + and – to –). (Im-
proper phasing causes poor bass re-
sponse.)

Note: Other auto sound systems' wires
might not use the same color codes. If
your auto sound system is other than a
Radio Shack brand, check its owner's
manual for the speaker wire color codes.
Connect the stereo's speaker wires to the
Wire Color
speakers, using the color code in the chart
as a guide. Then turn on your stereo to be
sure that you connected the speakers
properly.
Caution: Do not connect any speaker
wires to chassis ground. Use all of the
specified wires to connect the speakers to
your vehicle's auto sound system.
