two. Speaker Connections
Separate and strip the ends
of the speaker wire as
shown. Speakers and ampli-
fiers/receivers have corre-
sponding (+) and (–) termi-
nals. Most two conductor
wire is color-coded or has a
ridge on one of its insulating
jackets, so that you can
easily identify which wire is
connected to which termi-
nal. It is important to con-
nect all the speakers identi-
cally: (+) on the speaker to
(+) on the amplifier and (–)
on the speaker to (–) on the
amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound,
weak bass and a poor
stereo image.
