For satellites, thread speaker
wire through the hole in the
bottom of the speaker, then
feed it through the recessed
wire channel.

Separate and strip the ends of
the speaker wire as shown.
Speakers and electronics ter-
minals have corresponding “+” 
and “–” terminals. It is
important to connect both
speakers identically: “+” on the

speaker to “+” on the amplifier
and “–” on the speaker to “–”
on the amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound,
weak bass and a poor stereo
image.

The speaker cables are clearly labeled
for proper hook up to the corresponding
speaker. Connect the “+” portion of the
cable to the red terminal on the speaker

and the “–” 
portion of the cable to the black
terminal on the speaker.
