Setting Up

Test the speakers

To make sure your speakers operate correctly:

1.   Set your receiver or amplifier to MONO (monophonic) and turn it on.
2.   Set the balance control to normal (center position).
3.   Place the speakers less than 6 inches (15 cm) apart, facing each other.

4.   Play some deep bass passages of music through the speaker.
The sound should seem to come from a point between the two speakers. The bass should 
be full and natural. If it is not, your connections may be out of phase. To make them match 

connections to the amplifier, try reversing the + and – connections on the back of one 
speaker. Then repeat steps 1 – 4.

Completed connections

Check the connections

Check to be sure all connections are made positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to 
negative (– to –). Make sure that no loose strands of wire touch across terminals. Loose wire 

strands could short circuit, which can result in electrical shock or damage. Tighten any loose 
connections before you plug in the receiver or amplifier and turn it on.
