Notes:
• Make sure that the bare wires are not touching each
other as this could damage the speaker and
amplifier.
• Connect one speaker to the left terminals of your
amplifier, and another speaker to the right
terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity
(+, –). If one speaker is connected with reversed
polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
