CONNECTING THE SPEAKER

You need speaker wire (not supplied) to connect the speaker to your
receiver or amplifier.  We recommend you use wire that is color-coded or
marked on one side.  Use 18-gauge or larger speaker wire for distances up
to 50 feet.  For greater distances, use 16-gauge wire.  Your local Radio
Shack store has a wide selection of speaker wire.

    NOTE:  For maximum bass response and the best overall performance, be
           sure the polarities match when you connect the speaker to the
           receiver or amplifier (positive to positive and negative to
           negative).

1.  With the speaker in its appropriate location, measure the distance
    from the speaker to the receiver or amplifier.  Then route the proper
    length of speaker wire from the speaker to the receiver  or amplifier.

    CAUTIONS:  Avoid routing the speaker wire near other electrical wires.

               Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.

2.  Split apart 4 inches of speaker wire on each end.

3.  Strip 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire's end.  Then twist the ends
    of the wire to secure any loose strands.

4.  While pressing and holding down the black (negative) terminal tab on
    the back of the speaker, insert one end of the black (or negative) bare
    wire into the opening.  Then release the tab.

5.  Repeat Step 4 to insert one end of the positive bare wire into the red
    (positive) terminal on the back of the speaker.

6.  Using the wire's color coding as a guide, insert the other end of the
    negative bare wire into your receiver or amplifier's negative ( - )
    speaker terminal.

7.  Repeat Step 6 to connect the other end of the positive bare wire into
    your receiver or amplifier's positive (+) speaker terminal.

8.  You can place the speaker on a desk, shelf, or table.  You can also
    hang it on a wall using the keyhole slot on the back of the speaker.
