Connect the speakers’ terminals to the terminals on the amplifier or receiver designated for “surround” or “rear
channel effects.” Maintain consistency of the + (red) and – (black) connections by using the markings on the wire.
Important:
Adjusting Volume Levels. To obtain the best home theater effect,
match the sound levels of each speaker. Home theater systems include a test
signal that simplifies this level matching. Refer to the instructions provided
with your surround sound electronics.
The power recommendation for the system assumes you will operate the
amplifier in a way that will not produce distortion. Even our rugged speakers
can be damaged by a modest amplifier if it produces distortion. If you hear a
harsh, gritty noise, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of
your speakers with a distorted signal from the amplifier can cause damage that
is not covered by the warranty.

Warning:
To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or
receiver when making connections to the speaker.
