take a moment to to review the installation instructions to ensure that you get the most
from your new speakers.
Unpacking
Carefully remove your new NXG speakers from the box. Inspect the speakers for transit
damage. If you discover damage, contact your dealer immediately. Save your carton – it is the
best possible protection for your speakers should you ever have a need to move them.
Positioning and Mounting Your New NXG Speakers
Note: the distance between yourself and the point directly between the speakers should be
(roughly 20%) greater than the distance between the two speakers. Outside placement may
be different, due to variances in available mounting areas.

CORRECT IN-PHASE HOOK-UP
FIGURE 1
FIGURE 2
All NXG weather-resistant speakers are equipped with
powder-coated ratcheting aluminum mounting brackets
that allow for vertical or horizontal mounting. Be certain
the type of anchor you choose, and the material you
are mounting the anchor into, are capable of holding
the weight of the speaker. (Many mounting anchor sys-
tems are available from your local hardware store.)
After mounting the bracket, connect the wire as shown
in Figure 2, and loosely secure the speaker to the
bracket using the supplied knobs. Adjust the speaker’s
angle for optimum listening area coverage and firmly
hand-tighten the knobs.
Hooking Up Your
New NXG Speakers
STOP! – Make sure that you consult your amplifier’s
owner’s manual regarding speaker hook-up. Your ampli-
fier should be turned off throughout this procedure.
Most speaker wire is polarity coded. This means that
each conductor is labeled either (+) positive or (-) neg-
ative. The (+) positive side may be a different color or
texture than the (-) negative side. On the back of your
amplifier, each channel should be labeled (+) and (-)
as well as color coded red for (+) positive and black for
(-) negative. NXG speaker terminals are color coded
red for (+) positive and black for (-) negative. Be sure
to hook (+) to (+), (red to red), and (-) to (-), (black to
black). (See figure 3.) All connections should be tight.
Inspect connections for frays and stray strands of wire
touching both (+) and (-) terminals. (This will cause a
short and, perhaps, damage your equipment.)
