CONNECTING SPEAKERS
PREPARING THE
SPEAKER WIRES
Caution: You must connect a sepa-
rate wire to each speaker terminal as
described in the following procedures.
Do not use a common wire or chassis
ground for any speaker connection.
Notes:
• We recommend you use 16- or
18-gauge marked or color-coded
wires to help you correctly con-
nect the speakers to your ampli-
fier.
• Color-coded wires have a stripe
running down one of the conduc-
tors or different colored insulation
for each conductor. Your local
RadioShack store has a wide
selection
of
speaker
choose from.
• For the maximum bass response
and the best overall performance,
keep
your
speakers
phased (connect + to + and – to –).
1. With the speakers placed in their
approximate locations, run one
speaker wire from each speaker
to the amplifier.
2. Separate each speaker wire's two
conductors at both ends for a
length of about 4 inches.
3. Strip the insulation from the ends
of each conductor to expose
inch of wire. (Be sure to twist the
ends to secure loose strands.)
