Midrange/Tweeter Wiring: 

 
a. Remove and insulate solid copper L3 coil, RED and YELLOW wires from MIDRANGE RED SPEAKER 

BINDING POST. 

 
b. Connect new midrange coil L5, included in the kit, between MIDRANGE/TWEETER RED AMPLIFIER 

BINDING POST and MIDRANGE RED SPEAKER BINDING POST. [Use the short lead for the speaker 
binding post and the long lead for the amplifier binding post.] Secure L5 to outer edge resistor bank, as 
shown in Diagram #2, with two tie-wraps included in kit. Leave ORANGE wire connected. 

 
c. Remove and insulate solid copper L3 coil wire and GREEN wire from MIDRANGE BLACK SPEAKER 

BINDING POST. Remove and insulate short GREEN wire from MIDRANGE/TWEETER BLACK 
AMPLIFIER BINDING POST. Leave long GREEN wire connected between MIDRANGE/TWEETER 
BLACK AMPLIFIER BINDING POST and TWEETER BLACK SPEAKER BINDING POST. 

 
d. Connect GREY wire included in the kit between MIDRANGE BLACK SPEAKER BINDING POST and 

MIDRANGE/TWEETER BLACK AMPLIFIER BINDING POST. 

 
e. For all Divas with serial numbers before #10360, resolder short ORANGE wire originating from 

MIDRANGE/ TWEETER RED AMPLIFIER BINDING POST from LUG #6 of the BUSSBAR to LUG 
#1 and #2 (Refer to Diagram #2). 

 
f. Finally, cut the BUSSBAR with a heavy wire cutter between LUG #2 and #3. Make sure that there is a 

good size gap between these two lugs so that they are electrically isolated. 

 

DUETTA SIGNATURE 

 
Remove the nameplate on the back of each speaker by removing four Phillips head screws at the corners. 
The nameplate holds the speaker binding posts on which the speaker wire is connected.
