Before Use
Avoid damage to the speakers and other components:
• Carefully unbox the speakers carefully to avoid physically damaging your speakers.
• Use appropriate gauge wires (minimum of 12 gauge wire for runs up to 25 feet).
• Make sure wire polarity is connected correctly. Most speaker cables are coded for ease of use. Make
sure positive (red) connection on the amplifier terminal is connected to the positive (red) on your speak-
ers. Follow the same instructions for the negative side. Strip o approximately 1/2” of the insulation from
the ends of the speaker cable, twist the bare strands and insert into the binding post.
• Ensure your equipment is turned o before connecting speakers.
• Check to ensure positive and negative wires are not touching each other once they’re connected to the
speaker terminals.
