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 in always using the stripe as positive or always using it 
as negative. 
If you use pin plugs and spade terminals/cable lugs (highly recommended), install the plugs 
on the wire, taking care to match the polarity of the plug (if applicable) with the polarity of 
the wire. Once you have constructed each wire assembly, double check each end to ensure 
the polarity matches that of the other end on the same strand. 

Tip: Use a continuity tester, such as a digital multimeter, to verify that the 
polarity matches at each end. 

If you will be using bare wire for any of the connections, strip about 3/8" insulation from 
the wire end and twist it to prevent stray strands. 
 

SUBWOOFER MOUNTING 

The subwoofer can be either placed on a horizontal surface or mounted to a vertical 
surface. If mounting to a vertical surface, you will need two screws with screw heads with 
a 5-7mm head diameter (not included). 
 

Horizontal Mounting 

1.

 

Peel the protective film from the back of one of the included rubber feet, then 
place it on one of the corners on the bottom of the subwoofer. Repeat for the other 
three rubber feet and corners. 

2.

 

Place the subwoofer on the horizontal surface at the desired location. If placing it 
above the floor, ensure that it is not in a position where it could fall on people or 
animals in the event that it becomes dislodged or knocked off its surface.
