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
Ω
. 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.

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.
Connecting the Subwoofer

the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your amp’s
