Speaker Connections
SPEAKER PHASING: TO OBTAIN STABLE IMAGING AND FULL BASS RESPONSE, IT IS IMPERATIVE
THAT STEREO SPEAKERS BE CONNECTED "IN PHASE" WITH EACH OTHER. YOU CAN VERIFY THIS
AS FOLLOWS:
1. If the "+" (positive) and "–" (negative) terminals on your speakers are correctly marked, and visible, and you
have wired the system with the positive speaker connector on the rear of the BXAUDIO4X4
Controller/Amplifier connected to the positive connector on the speaker and the negative speaker connector
on the rear of the BXAUDIO4X4 Controller/Amplifier connected to the negative connector on the speaker,
then the system will be "in phase". No further action is required. Most manufacturers identify the positive
terminal with a red binding post, a "+" sign, or a red dot.
2. If you are unsure of the markings, you can verify the phasing. Using a mono sound source, such as AM
radio, alternately reverse the leads to one of the speakers. Pick the connection that delivers a solid center
image between the speakers as well as best bass response.
CAUTION: After lead ends are inserted and the screws tightened down, be sure there are no free strands
that could cause shorting!
