Steps to Installing

Make the speaker connections

You need a Phillips-head screwdriver for this step.

Tip: Pay attention to maintaining the proper polarity (+ to + and – to –) with these connec-

tions. An error here will adversely affect speaker performance. Also be sure to tighten each

screw securely, but not enough to cause undesirable compression of the wire.

1. If you have not done so earlier, loosen the screws on both terminals.

2. Insert the end of the marked wire (+) into the positive (+) terminal and tighten the screw

(Figure 29).

3. Insert the end of the unmarked wire (–) into the negative (–) terminal and tighten the

screw.

CAUTION: Do not allow exposed wires to brush against each other, which could damage

your components. Trim excess wire and reinsert as necessary.

4. Check for the consistent polarity (+ to + and – to –) of these connections at both the

receiver/ampliﬁer and the speaker.

Test the speaker now

With the connections still within reach, now is a good time to test the speaker to make sure it

functions properly before you secure it in the wall.

It may be preferable to begin installing the second speaker now, before you test either one.

When you get the second speaker connected, you can test both speakers, and make sure

they are both functioning ﬁne before proceeding with the installation steps for each one.

CAUTION: If you are testing the ﬁrst speaker before the other one is connected, make

sure the wire to that ﬁrst speaker is the only one connected to the receiver/ampliﬁer. This

will avoid any risk of unattached speaker wires making contact, which can damage the

receiver/ampliﬁer.
