identifies a positive and negative side. Some common clearly positive and negative 
markings or identifiers are: 
 

Positive 

Negative 

Red 

Black 

Copper 

Silver 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
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 
using the stripe as positive or always using 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 grille and frame can be painted to match your walls, making the speaker even less 
noticeable. Perform the following steps to safely paint them without damaging the 
speaker. 

1.

 

Remove the center portion of the cardboard installation template/paint mask. The 
central portion is the paint mask, while the outer portion is the installation 
template. 

2.

 

Completely remove the grille by inserting a paper clip or the included grille removal 
tool into one of the holes and pulling to lift it off the frame.
