Color-coded wires have stripes running 
down one side of the conductor’s insulation, 
marked wires have ridges running along one 
side of the conductor’s insulation.

Cautions:

• Do not exceed the speaker’s maximum 

power rating of 80 watts.

• To avoid damage to the speaker or 

amplifier/receiver, turn off the amplifier/
receiver before making the connections.

1. Select a mounting location for the 

speaker that can withstand the speaker’s 
weight and vibration.

2. Measure the distance from the speaker 

to the amplifier/receiver. For distances 
of 25 feet or less, use 18-gauge speaker 
wire or ordinary lamp cord. For 
distances greater than 25 feet, use 
heavier 16-gauge wire.

3. With the speaker near the selected 

location, run speaker wire from the 
speaker to the receiver/amplifier.

4. Separate the conductors for a length of 

about two inches on the end of each 
wire, then strip 

1

 inch of insulation 

from the end of each conductor and 
twist the wire ends.

5. Push the black (negative) and red 

(positive) terminal on the speaker.

6. Insert the stripped wire ends into the 

holes in the terminals.

7. Connect the other ends of the wires to 

the matching terminals (negative and 
positive) on the receiver/amplifier.

Mounting

You can mount your speaker on a wall or 
the ceiling using the supplied mounting 
brackets and two screws (not supplied). Use 
screws with heads at least 

1

/

4

 inch in 

diameter for the speaker.

1. Use the brackets to 

mark the locations of 
the bracket’s keyhole 
slots on the mounting 
surface.

2. Drive two screws into 

the mounting surface 
at the marked 
locations, leaving about 

3

/

16

 inch of the 

screw’s threads exposed.

Note: Plaster, concrete, and very thin 
surfaces require expansion anchors or bolts 
for secure mounting.
