4.3 Connecting Speaker Cable to the Crossover
1. Locate the input terminal block on the bottom of the crossover cabinets.
Route your own SINGLE-WIRED speaker cables to these INPUT terminals.
2. Connect your own speaker wires (for the upper speaker cabinet drivers) to
the INPUT terminal block on the bottom of the crossover cabinet, as shown in
Figure 4.2.
Do NOT over-tighten the binding posts.
IMPORTANT: Correct polarity of connections is critical to performance. Check
to insure that the polarity is correct at both the amplifier and crossover cabinet
terminals.
3. At this point you may stand up the crossover cabinet, leaving a minimum
of several inches between the crossover and speaker cabinets to avoid
possible collision and damage. Also take care to route the wiring between
the legs of the cabinet bases, thereby protecting the wiring harnesses from
becoming pinched.
WARNING: The wiring harnesses are fragile and can be easily damaged by
pinching them beneath the cabinet base.

check the polarity of the connections.
