CONNECTING TO AN AMPLIFIER

CAUTIONS:  You can use an amplifier/receiver with a power handling rating
           higher than that of the speaker, but take care never to exceed
           the speaker's maximum power rating (see "Specifications" on
           Faxback Doc. # 32968).

           To avoid any damage to the speaker or amplifier/receiver, turn
           off the amplifier/receiver before making connections.

Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of speaker wire.  We
recommend you use color-coded or marked wire to help you correctly connect
the wire.  Some color-coded wires have a stripe running down one side of
the conductors.  Some marked wires have ridges along one side of the
conductors.

With a pair of speakers in their approximate locations, measure the
distance from each speaker to the amplifier.  Use 18-gauge speaker wire or
lamp cord for distances up to 50 feet.  For greater distances, use 16 gauge
wire.

1.  Split apart about 4 inches of speaker wire on each end.

2.  Use a wire stripper to strip 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire end.
    Twist the loose wire strands to prevent the wires from shorting.

3.  Press the right speaker's negative (-) terminal tab and insert one of
    the bare wire ends into the opening.  Then release the tab.

4.  Press the right speaker's positive (+) terminal tab and insert the
    other bare wire end into the opening.  Then release the tab.

5.  Insert the other end of the wire you inserted into the right speaker's
    negative (-) terminal into your amplifier/receiver's right negative (-)
    speaker terminal.

    NOTE:  For the maximum bass response and the best performance, be sure
           your speaker wires are properly connected according to their
           polarity (+ to + and - to -).

6.  Connect the remaining wire to the amplifier/receiver's right positive
    (+) speaker terminal.

7.  Repeat this process to connect another speaker to your amplifier/
    receiver's left speaker terminals.
