• Push down on the top of the terminal 
   to reveal the wire hole in the side of  
   the terminal post and insert the wire  
   into the hole [Figure 12].  
   Release the pressure on the terminal  
   to secure the wire.

• Loosen the rotating lock arms by turning the lock arm screws on the front of the speaker counter clockwise 1⁄2 to 1 turn, just enough  
   to allow the lock arm to move freely. [Figure 13]. Make sure that the rotating lock arms are flipped inwards [Figure 14] so that your   
   speaker fits into your cutout.

• Once you have cut the hole, pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect the speaker. Strip 1/2” inch (12 mm) of insulation    
   from each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand.    
   Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect    
   the wire from the red terminal (+) of your amplifier or receiver to the red terminal (+) on your speaker and the wire from the black    
   terminal (-) of your amplifier or receiver to the black terminal (-) on your speaker. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding,  
   ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency [Figure 11a]. In the case of the DT 6.5STR single  
   speaker stereo model, both left and right channel speaker wires are connected to the speaker [Figure 11b].
