Midrange/Tweeter Wiring: 

 
a. Remove and insulate PURPLE wire from MIDRANGE/TWEETER RED BINDING POST. 
 
b. Remove heatshrink from unconnected BLUE wire and install on MIDRANGE/TWEETER RED

Replacing Wires and Nameplates: 

 
a. Check the wires and lugs to be certain that they do not short out to the nameplate or to each other. Be sure 

that the wires are not sharply bent. 

 
b. Use electrical tape or heatshrink tubing where instructions call for insulating a given lug or wire. 
 
c. Place the nameplates back in their original positions and secure with screws.

The Caliper Signature is not set-up to be easily modified by the customer. Therefore, we recommend that 
your authorized Apogee dealer perform this modification. 
 

 

CENTAUR MAJOR 

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

 
 
 
a. Loosen and remove the outer hex 
nuts from the input binding posts. Do 
this for red and black as well as for 
woofer and midrange tweeter. 
 
b. Remove all wires from binding posts. 
 
c. Re-attach the BLUE wire to the 
midrange tweeter black binding post.

(not to switch or main crossover board) 
on the woofer black binding post.
