Making Connections
Speaker Outputs
The speaker output connectors are designed for stranded wire from 18-14 gauge.
Remove about 2” of the outer jacket then strip about 1/4” insulation from each wire and slightly twist
the strands to ensure all strands can be inserted into the hole on the removable black speaker connec-
tor. See the Strip Gauge figure below.
Insert the Red or copper colored conductor all the way up to the insulation into the hole at the bottom
of the plug. Do the same to the Black or silver colored conductor and insert into the BLACK (-) colored
Terminal. Make sure there are NO whiskers from the strands that could cause a short circuit. The other
end of these wires will be connected to your amplifier or volume control.
Note: Sometimes your wire color may be White (+) and Green (-).
After tightening with a small slotted screwdriver, you should have a connection with the proper tension
for continued operation that will not wiggle out or cause poor connection.
For the Right Speaker Output, insert the Red or copper colored
conductor all the way up to the insulation into the hole labeled
R+ at the bottom of the plug. With a small slotted screwdriver turn
the screw clockwise until you have a tight connect. Try pulling the
wire, you should not be able to pull the wire from the screw plug.
Next do the same to the Black or silver colored conductor and
insert into the R- Screw Terminal.
Do the same for the LEFT Output. Insert the Red or copper colored
conductor all the way up to the insulation into the hole labeled L+
at the bottom of the plug. With a small slotted screwdriver, turn
the screw clockwise until you have a tight connection. Try pulling
the wire, you should not be able to pull the wire from the screw
plug. Next do the same to the Black or silver colored conductor
and insert into the L- Screw Terminal.
Make sure there are NO whiskers from the strands that could cause a short circuit. The other end of
these wires will be connected to your amplifier or volume control.
Note: The (+) terminals are on the outside of the Speaker Plug. The (–) terminals are on the inside of the
plug.
Sometimes your wire color may be White (+) and Green (-) when using a four (4) conductor audio
cable.
You should now have a connection with the proper tension for continued operation that will not wiggle
out or cause a poor connection that can produce intermittent audio static.
Make sure you connect the speakers to the amp In Phase. In Phase means (+) Red of the amp to the (+)
Red of the speaker and the Black (-) of the amp to the Black (-) of the speaker. If they are connected out
of phase, the mid and low frequencies will cancel and the speakers will not perform as intended.
