With the speakers in their approximate locations, measure the distance
from each speaker to the amplifier.

Use 18-gauge 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 best overall performance, be sure
       that your speaker wires are properly connected according to their
       polarity (positive to positive and negative to negative).

1.  Split 4 inches of speaker wire on each end.

2.  Strip 1/4 inch insulation from each wire's end.

3.  Press the right speaker's negative (-) terminal tab and insert one of
    the bare wires to the opening.  Then, release the tab.

4.  Press the right speaker's positive (+) terminal tab and insert the
    other bare wire into the opening.  Then release the tab.

5.  Insert the other end of the wire you inserted into the right speaker's
    negative (-) terminal into your receiver/amplifier's right negative
    (-) terminal.

6.  Connect the remaining wire to the receiver/amplifier's right positive
    (+) terminal.

7.  Repeat this process for the left speaker.
