Terminal Connections
1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or
disconnecting any cables.
2. Before switching the amplifier ON, double check that all connections are secure and that the polarity is correct.
3. The speaker wires are attached to the spring terminals of the mounting bracket, and not to the loudspeaker.
4. The mounting bracket can be preinstalled and wired up, and the loudspeaker added at a later stage.
5. The speaker wires can be fitted to the bracket from above, from behind (center), or from below:
6. If the speaker wires are coming from above, remove the rear cover of the bracket and carefully cut the area at the top.
It is already thinner in this area. Replace the rear cover on the bracket.
7. Feed the speaker wires from the rear and in through the top hole.
8. If the speaker wires are coming from below, remove the rear cover of the bracket and cut the area at the bottom.
It is already thinner in this area. Replace the rear cover on the bracket.
9. Feed the speaker wires from the rear and in through the bottom hole.
10. If the speaker wires are coming from the center, there is no need to remove the rear cover of the bracket.
11. Feed the speaker wires from the rear and in through the center hole.
12. The two spring terminals of the mounting bracket are colored RED positive (+) and BLACK negative (-).
These connect respectively to the positive (+) and negative (-) output terminals of your audio power amplifier.
13. Strip off approximately 8 mm (¼") of the outer protective layer of one conductor and twist its inner cores together to prevent shorting
from stray wires. Insert the core into the spring terminal while ensuring that correct polarity is maintained. Repeat this for both
speaker wires. Gently pull on the wires to verify they are making a secure connection.
