Connecting the Speaker Wire

CAUTION: While mounting the speaker, be sure you so not interfere with 
existing wiring.

A wide selection of speaker wire is available at your local Radio Shack
store. We recommend that you use wire that is color-coded or marked on one 
side. This helps you connect the wire correctly.

If you need less than 50 feet of wire to connect the speaker t your 
receiver/amplifier, use 18-gauge speaker wire.

If you need more than 50 feet, use 16-gauge wire. We recommend you keep the
wire length to a minimum.

Follow these steps to connect the speaker to the receiver/amplifier.

1. Route the speaker wire from the receiver/amplifier to the speaker. Avoid
routing the speaker wire near electrical wires. Do not nail or staple the 
speaker wire.

2. Prepare each end of the speaker wire by doing the following:

The wire has two conductors. Separate the conductors for a length of about
4 inches.

Using a wire stripper, remove about 1/4 inch of insulation from the end of
each conductor. 

Twist the ends of each conductor.

3. Connect the wire to the terminals on the back of the speaker. To do 
this, press one terminal's tab, insert the conductor, and release the tab. 
Then, repeat with the other conductor.

4. Connect the wire to the speaker terminals on the receiver/amplifier. 

Using the wire's color-coding or marking as a guide, connect the conductor
that is connected to the speaker's (+) terminal to the receiver/amplifier's
(+) terminal.

Connect the (-) conductor to the receiver/amplifier's (-) terminal. 
Connecting speaker wires incorrectly can affect the quality of the bass 
sounds.

Mounting the Speaker

Follow these steps to mount the speaker.

NOTE: If you choose to paint the frame and grille, paint them and let them
and let them dry before you mount the speaker. Be sure that the paint does 
not get into the speaker element.

1. From the back of the speaker, insert one of the supplied screws through 
a mounting hole, and push the grille away from the speaker.

2. Turn the mounting bracket's flat side toward the speaker frame. Position
the bracket so its mounting holes line up with the speaker frame's mounting
holes.

3. Insert one of the supplied screws into a speaker frame mounting hole. 
Then place one of the supplied anti-vibration sponges on the screw. Route 
the screw through a hole in the mounting bracket, and drive the screw only
far enough to hold the speaker frame and mounting bracket together. Repeat
this step for the other three screws.


4. Place the speaker frame and the mounting bracket in the selected 
mounting location.

5. Position the speaker frame evenly in the mounting hole. Then tighten the
screws.

6. Mount the speaker on the mounting frame with the woofer at the bottom 
using the six supplied screws.

7. Attach the grille onto the speaker frame.

NOTE: Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean the speaker. This might damage
it.
