your amplifier to the red (+) terminal on
your speaker, and the wire from the
black (-) terminal of the amplifier to the
black (-) terminal on your speaker. Most
wire has some indication (such as color-
coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the
two conductors to help maintain consis-
tency. If your Subwoofer does not seem
to produce much bass, it is most likely
that one of the speaker wires is con-
nected backwards. Double-check all
connections for correct polarity.
Strip 1/2” of insulation from each of the
two conductors on both ends to expose
the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of
each conductor to form two un-frayed
strands. Connect two conductors to the
receiver or amp (refer to the owner’s
manual supplied with your electronics
for assistance with proper hookup).
Connect the two conductors on the other
end of the wire to the speaker termi-
nals. Repeat for the other channel.
To connect wire to the binding post,
unscrew the plastic hex nut on the bind-
ing post and insert the bare wire into
the hole near the base of the binding
post (Fig. 11). Do not insert the insu-
lated part of the wire into the hole, as
this will not give you a good connection.
Twist the hex nut back down the binding
post until it firmly meets the wire. Do
not over-tighten.
