Speaker Wiring
All wiring should be done prior to installation and
then plugged into the rear of the speaker. Wiring is
terminated at a snap-lock input connector. There
are two positive and two negative terminals to
accommodate daisy-chaining of speakers in a sys-
tem.
Daisy-Chaining
The snap-lock input connector allows for easy
daisy-chaining of speakers by providing a second
terminal of each polarity. See the figures to the
right and below for correct wiring for daisy-chain-
ing of terminals.
Note: When speakers are daisy-chained, disconnecting one speaker from the chain
will disable all speakers further down the chain.
Speaker Polarity
Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct speaker polarity. In
order to provide the best possible sound, all speakers – both subwoofers and full-range
speakers – in a system need to be pushing out and pulling in at the same time. Therefore
all must be wired with the same polarity.
If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that speak-
er’s movement will be out of polarity with the other speakers. This results in a loss of low
frequency response and will effect the overall performance of the system.
Terminal Cover
The terminal cover is attached to the back of the speaker housing using 2 screws. It is
important that both screws be used to mount the cover.
A slot in the terminal cover allows the wires to exit the speaker while protecting the
connections.
If local codes require the use of a conduit for connections or strain relief of the connec-
tions, a circular knockout can be removed and a proper fitting installed to meet these
requirements.
