speaker wire to the speaker's input terminals, then connect the other end to the 
appropriate terminals on the rear of the subwoofer. Take care to match the polarity 
at each end. 

5.

 

For each satellite that will be connected to a satellite wall mount bracket, remove 
the rubber plug from the bracket slot on the bottom rear of the speaker, along with 
the plastic insert. Detach the plastic insert from the plug. Position the speaker 
bracket slot over the T-shaped portion of the wall bracket, then slide it in place. 
Finally, slide the rubber plug into the lower portion of the bracket slot to "lock" it 
into place. Position the speaker so that it is angled downward about 15°. 
If the satellite will be placed on a horizontal surface, place it in the desired location. 

6.

 

For 8-ohm installations, using one of the wires prepared in step 3 above, connect 
one end of a wire to the left channel input on the subwoofer, then connect the 
other end to the left channel output on your amplifier, taking care to match the 
polarity at each end. Repeat the process for the right channel. 
For 70-volt installations, connect the prepared wire to either the 30W or 60W tap, 
plus the ground tap, in the 70-volt section on the subwoofer, then connect the 
other end to the 70-volt output on your amplifier, taking care to match the polarity 
at each end. 
Reminder: The total wattage of all taps connected to a 70-volt system must never 
exceed 80% of the amplifier's rated RMS power output. 

7.

 

If using the speakers as part of a 70-volt system, flip the 70V/8Ω switch on the 
subwoofer to the 70V position, otherwise flip it to the 8Ω position. 

8.

 

Attach the terminal cover to the back of the subwoofer using the screws removed 
in step 2 above. Ensure that the wire opening is at the bottom and that the rubber 
flap is positioned over the wires. This is especially important in outdoor installations. 

9.

 

Plug in and power on your amplifier. Play audio material and verify that audio is 
playing on each connected satellite and on the subwoofer.
