holes and install the chassis mounting bolts.

Installing the Speaker
Step 1
– Remove the four nuts from the speaker mounting bolts inside the cabinet.
Step 2
– Remove the speaker from its shipping box. With speaker in hand, carefully align the
speaker mounting holes to the baffle bolts. I recommend installing the speaker with
connecting terminals on top.
Step 3
– Slowly press the speaker onto these bolts, being certain that the bolts are
proceeding through the mounting holes of the speaker equally (photos 4.2a).
Step 4
– Once the speaker is installed on the bolts, install the neoprene bonded washers
(photo 4.2b) and press the bonded washer
fully against the speaker frame.
Step 5
– Once the neoprene bonded washers are mounted on the bolts, install and tighten
the KEPS nuts.
Step 6
– With the nuts and washers tight, I recommend using a small dab of fingernail polish
to further guarantee that the nuts do not come loose or the lock washer buzzes (photo 4.2c).
Proceed to steps 4.3
Wiring the Speaker
Step 1
– Twist the two 15” lengths of black and
white wire together (photo 4.3a).
Step 2
– At one end, strip the insulation back ½ ”
from both wires and tin these two wires (photo 4.3b).
Step 3
– Unscrew the barrel of the ¼ ” phone plug.
Step 4
– Solder the two tinned wires to the plug; white to center and black to shield (photo
4.3c). Reinstall plug barrel.
Step 5
– At the opposite end of the twisted wire pair, strip back the insulation ¼” and tin these
two wires.
Alignment of all holes during speaker installation is crucial Otherwise, one or more of the
bolts may accidentally puncture the speaker cone.

CAUTION
It is important to fully tighten the KEPS nuts so that the lock washer around the nut does not
spin. If loose, this lock washer will cause a vibrational “buzz” when the amp is played.
