4.

 

Run an in-wall rated speaker wire from the left-channel speaker to the low-voltage 
mounting bracket intended for use with this speaker pair. 

5.

 

Connect the wire to the left channel speaker, taking note of the wire colors or 
markings used for the positive (+) and negative (-) connections. 

For best results, always use the same wire colors or markings for the positive and negative 
connections. 

6.

 

Connect the other end of the left-channel speaker wire to the L+ and L- Output 
terminals on the volume control, taking care to match the polarity. 

7.

 

Run an in-wall rated speaker wire from the right-channel speaker to the low-voltage 
mounting bracket intended for use with this speaker pair. 

8.

 

Connect the wire to the right channel speaker, taking note of the wire colors or 
markings used for the positive (+) and negative (-) connections. 

9.

 

Connect the other end of the right-channel speaker wire to the R+ and R- Output 
terminals on the volume control, taking care to match the polarity. 

10.

 

Run an in-wall rated speaker wire from the low-voltage mounting bracket intended 
for use with this speaker pair to the amplifier. Mark the wire as the left-channel wire 
at the amplifier end. 

11.

 

Connect the left-channel amplifier wire to the L+ and L- Input terminals on the 
volume control, taking note of the wire colors or markings used for the positive (+) 
and negative (-) connections. 

12.

 

Run a second in-wall rated speaker wire from the low-voltage mounting bracket 
intended for use with this speaker pair to the amplifier. Mark the wire as the right-
channel wire at the amplifier end. 

13.

 

Connect the right-channel amplifier wire to the R+ and R- Input terminals on the 
volume control, taking note of the wire colors or markings used for the positive (+) 
and negative (-) connections.
