Connections
1.) Run 4-Conductor speaker cable
from the amplifier (positive and negative
for both the left and right channel) to the
volume control - marked
and
.
Similarly, run 2-conductor speaker cable
from each of the first pair of speakers to
the volume control. Label the cables for
future reference.
2.) Measure the depth of the volume
control to make sure your Volume Control will fit in the j-box.
3.) Connect the speaker cable to the volume control:
a. Strip ¼” of insulation from the end of each cable
b. Tightly twist the wires in each cable until there are no frayed ends.
c. Insert the 4-conductor speaker cable from the amplifier into the input
terminals.
d. Insert the two 2-conductor speaker cables from the first pair of
speakers into the output terminals.
4.) Connect additional speakers in parallel.
5.) Make sure that all connections between your amplifier and the volume
control, and between the volume control (
) and each speaker, are in
“phase”, that is (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
6.) Turn the volume knob to the “off” position (all the way down.)
7.) Screw J-box into place
8.) Put on faceplate and screw in place using the screws.
