WARNING:
Exercise extreme care before
making any wall cuts to ensure that you
will not cut through any wires, pipes,
or other items that may be in the wall.
You may sometimes, but not always, be
able to determine the approximate loca-
tion of wires and pipes by looking at the
locations of nearby outlets and plumb-
ing. But their location or absence is never
an assurance that there is not something
within the wall cavity.
Connecting the IW-155SR to Your System
WARNING:
To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment,always
switch off the amplifier or receiver when making any system connections.
Speaker Connection
It's important to observe polarity while making speaker connections: red (+) terminals on
the amplifier to re (+) on the speaker, black(-) on the amplifier to black (-) on the speaker.
Look carefully at the wires you are using and note one of the conductors of each pair will
typically be identified by either color, printing on the outer jacket, ridges on the outer jacket,
or a thread intertwined with the wire strands. By convention, the marked wire is connected
to the red (+) terminal.
We recommend that you connect your speakers using high-quality dual conductor stranded
wire of 16 gauge or heavier, for lengths up to 25 feet (8m). Remember, the lower the gauge
number, the heavier the wire. Use heavier gauge wire for longer runs. Please contact your
audio/video dealer or installer for specific cable recommendations and further informa-
tion regarding special circumstances. The terminals themselves are designed to allow the
use of very heavy speaker wire or connectors.
Strip about ½" (13mm) of insulation from the connecting wires. Connect them to the
appropriate push terminal, being careful to observe polarity (positive to the red terminal,
negative to the black terminal).
WARNING:
Before turning on the amplifier, be certain that no stray wire strands are
touching across any terminals as this might damage your amplifier.
