Installation
1) Installing the Wire
Strip ¼ to ½ inches of the insu-
lation off both ends of the wire.
To avoid stray strands, twist
them at the end.
Connect the wire to the am-
plifier, and make sure the wire
connected to the left speaker
output will be routed to the left
speaker, right output to right
speaker, etc.
You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be
identified as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor
wires have some means of identifying which conductor is which, but at
times this identification may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of
which wire you use for positive (+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires
are colored red and black, the red wire is used for positive and the black
wire is used for negative, but sometimes other colors or patterns are
used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to be positive and
negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.
On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identi-
fied as red for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look
carefully at the speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is
attached to the positive connector in the amplifier is attached to the pos-
itive connector in the speaker.
