2. A painted stripe or dotted line
•Denote any of these as the POSITIVE (+) conductor for similar connections on both ends.
NOTE: It is important that you label your wires left and right when you run them to eliminate
future confusion.
AT THE SPEAKER END
1. Cut off excess wire, leaving about 2 feet
extending through
the speaker cut-out
hole.
2. Pull the conductors
apart so they’re
separated for the first
two inches from their
ends.
3. Using a wire stripper,
diagonal pliers or a
knife, remove 1/2
inch of insulation
from each conductor.
4. Twist the tiny strands in each conductor into tight spirals, as
shown in Drawing 4.
5. IMPORTANT: Route the speaker wire THROUGH the sheetrock as shown in Drawing 5.
6. Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals. Press down on the protruding levers while
inserting the wire into the hole.
* Correct the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker
terminal.
* Make sure that no stray strands of wire have gotten detached and are touching the other main wire.
7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 for the other Russound In-Wall Speaker.
AT THE AMPLIFIER END
1. Cut off excess wire, leaving enough to comfortably reach from the hole in the wall to your stereo system. If there’s
a possibility that you’re going to move the amplifier to another part of the room, consider leaving some excess wire
coiled up. If you’ve used sufficiently thick wire, this extra length will not affect speaker performance and could
make re-routing easier if the room is rearranged later.
2. Pull the conductors on both speaker wires apart so they’re separated for the last two inches.
3. Using wire strippers, diagonal pliers or a knife, remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor.
4. Twist the tiny strands in each conductor into tight spirals.
5. Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals on the amplifier or receiver.
* Connect the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker
terminal of the receiver/amplifier.
* Make sure that no stray strands of wire have gotten detached and are touching the other main wire.
Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the other speaker.
