SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTION
Connecting the speakers using 14/4 direct burial
speaker wire.
1. Pull the 14/4 wire on the spool to the furthest
speaker location. Leave the wire attached to the
spool until the last speaker has been connected.
2. Starting at the first speaker and every speaker that
follows, create a loop of wire approximately 6”
in length.
3. Use the round cable stripper to remove the outside
protective wire jacket to expose the 4 individual
color-coded wires. If you are unfamiliar with using a
round cable stripper, please go to YouTube and
search for videos on ‘Using a Round Cable Stripper’.
Or visit the specific brand of cable stripper’s
company website for detailed instructions.
4. Use a wire tie to keep the wire loop intact and act as
a strain relief.

accommodates up to a 12 gauge wire
Please note: regarding the 4 colored wires, the Red (+)
and Black (-) are used for the Right channel, White (+)
and Green (-) for the Left channel.
5. Cutting the wires. In this example, we want the first
speaker to be connected to the right channel so we
cut the red (+) and black (-) wires only. Leave the
white and green wires intact.
