Making
a
two-wire
speaker
connection
In
a two-wire connection (Figure 7), the wire marked with a red collar is positive
(+)
and the
plain one is negative (-). These wires match the positive
(red)
and negative (black) terminals
on the back
of
each speaker.

Note:
The
surround speaker cables are joined together for your convenience, providing
an
easy-to-use cable for connecting the surround speakers.
To
run the cables
in

tions from the Acoustimass module, simply pull apart the cables as needed.
