In many cases, the mark is a single stripe on the jacket of one of the connectors. In this 
case the side with the stripe is generally 
considered the positive side, but it really does not 
matter as long as you are consistent and always 
use the stripe as positive or always use it as 
negative. 
When you are ready to prepare your speaker 
wires, first separate about 4" of wire, then strip 
about 1/4" (6mm) insulation from the end and twist it to prevent stray strands. If you plan 
to use banana or pin plugs (highly recommended), install the plugs on the wire. 
 

PAINTING 

The grilles can be painted to match your walls or ceiling, making the speakers even less 
noticeable. Perform the following steps to safely paint them without damaging the 
speaker. 

1.

 

Pull on the edge of the magnetic grille to remove it from the speaker. 

2.

 

Paint the speaker grille. It is best to use spray paint to avoid paint clogging the 
holes in the grille. 

3.

 

Allow the paint to completely dry before proceeding with installation. Ensure that 
the holes in the grille are not blocked by paint.
