Connecting the Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•Turn off your amp before making any connections.
The nominal impedance of these speakers is 8
. Use
only an amp that supports this impedance.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect
positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,
and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi-
nals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound
will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
Be careful not to short the posi-
tive and negative wires. Doing so
may damage your amp.

Connecting the Speaker Cables
1
Use the cables to connect each speaker’s
input terminals to the corresponding
speaker output terminals on your amp.
To make a connection, while
pressing the terminal lever,
insert the wire into the hole, and
then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
