Connection
This speaker can be congured for use with 8 ohm ampliers or 70V / 100V
ampliers. If using a 70V / 100V amp, use the black wire as common and then
the appropriate colored wire to match the power and voltage of the amplier.
If using an 8 ohm amplier, cut the red and white wires where they join, then
use the BLACK wire for common and the RED wire for Positive.

* Most speaker damage is caused by using an amplier with too little power.
* An overdriven amplier clips the signal, sending distortion to the speakers.
* Clipping is usually audible; distortion and clicks can be heard.
* If you hear clipping, turn down the source material until the clipping stops.
*Damage caused by improper use or powering of the speakers is not covered
