WIRING THE SPEAKERS

Radio Shack auto sound systems have four standard color-coded speaker
wires.  Connect your stereo speaker wires to the speakers using these color
codes as a guide.

For a four-speaker (front and rear) installation:

┌────────────────────┬─────────────┐
│  SPEAKER TERMINAL  │  WIRE COLOR │
├────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│  Right Front       │    Gray     │
├────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│  Left Front        │    White    │
├────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│  Right Rear        │    Violet   │
├────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│  Left Rear         │    Green    │
└────────────────────┴─────────────┘

For a two-speaker (front or rear) installation:

┌────────────────────┬─────────────┐
│  SPEAKER TERMINAL  │  WIRE COLOR │
├────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│  Right             │    Gray     │
├────────────────────┼─────────────┤
│  Left              │    White    │
└────────────────────┴─────────────┘

Connect the speaker wires with the black stripe to the negative speaker
terminals, and the solid wires to the positive terminals.

CAUTION:  Do not connect any of the speaker wires to your vehicle's chassis
          ground.

NOTES:  Match the speaker wires to their corresponding positive or negative
        speaker terminals to ensure proper phasing.  Improper phasing
        cause poor bass response.

        Other auto sound systems might not use the same color codes.  If
        your auto sound system is a brand other than Radio Shack, check its
        owner's manual for the speaker wire color codes.

Turn on your stereo to test the speakers.  After you verify that everything
works properly, turn off your auto sound system and disconnect the
speakers.

MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS

1.  Select a flat area (such as your car's rear deck) for the mounting
    surface.  The surface must be sturdy enough to support the weight of
    the speakers.

2.  Remove the speakers from the mounting brackets by unscrewing the
    mounting knobs.

3.  Use the supplied mounting bracket as a template to mark the positions
    for the screw holes.

4.  Using the supplied screws, attach the mounting bracket to the mounting
    surface.

    NOTE:  Be sure you do not screw into anything behind the mounting
           surface.

5.  Attach the speaker to the mounting bracket with the mounting knobs.

Repeat 3-5 mount the other speaker.  After you mount the speakers,
reconnect them to your auto sound system.
