Hooking up the speaker (A)
Connect the speaker to the speaker output terminals of
an amplifier.
Make sure power to all components (included the
subwoofer) is turned off before starting the hook-up.
Notes (B)
•Make sure the plus (+) and the minus (–) terminals on
the speakers are matched to the corresponding plus (+)
and minus (–) terminals on the amplifier.
•Be sure to tighten the screws of the speaker terminals
securely as loose screws may become a source of noise.
•Make sure all connections are firm. Contact between
bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals may cause
a short-circuit.
•For details regarding the connections on the amplifier
side, refer to the manual that was provided with your
amplifier.
Tip
All striped wires are minus (–) in polarity, and should be
connected to the minus (–) speaker terminals.
