CONNECTING THE SPEAKER
WIRE
Your local RadioShack store has a wide se-
lection of speaker wire. We recommend you
use color-coded or marked wire to help you
correctly connect the wire. Most color-coded
wires have a stripe running down one of the
conductors and marked wires have ridges
along one of the conductors.
Cautions:
• Avoid routing the speaker wire near elec-
trical wires.
• Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.
• Take care never to exceed the speaker’s
maximum power rating (see “Specifica-
tions” on Page 3).
• To avoid any damage to the speaker or
amplifier/receiver, turn off the amplifier/
receiver before making the connections.
Follow these steps to connect the speaker to
your receiver/amplifier.
1. Route the speaker wire from your
receiver/amplifier to the speaker.
2. Separate the wire’s two conductors at
both ends for a length of about 4 inches.
3. Strip the insulation from the ends of each
conductor to expose

inch of wire and
twist the loose strands.
4. Connect the speaker wire to the terminals
on the back of the speaker. Press the red
terminal’s tab and insert one of the wire
ends. Then release the tab.
Press the black terminal’s tab and insert
one of the wire ends. Then release the
tab.
5. Using the wire’s color-coding or marking
as a guide, connect the conductor that is
connected to the speaker’s red (+) termi-
nal to your amplifier/receiver’s positive
(+) terminal. Then connect the negative
(–) conductor to your receiver/amplifier’s
negative (–) terminal.
MOUNTING THE SPEAKER
Note:
Before mounting the speaker, connect
and test it. See “Connecting the Speaker
Wire.”
1. If you have not already done so, remove
the grille (see “Painting the Frame and
Grille” on Page 1).
2. Make sure the mounting tabs are in place
(parallel with the edge of the speaker, not
pointing outward), then insert the speaker
into the mounting hole.
3. Use the four supplied mounting screws to
secure the mounting tabs to the wall or
ceiling.
