output (however, this may change, as detailed in the “Setting Acoustic Phase” section later in

this manual). We use the largest gauge speaker wire possible; for this installation, we would
recommend at least 13-gauge pure oxygen free cable (POFC) be used. If you are comfortable

with soldering, we recommend that the speaker wires be soldered directly to the speaker’s
terminals using silver-content solder. Great care must be taken however, as over-heating the

terminal may result in physical damage to the speaker’s terminals, or disconnection of the

speaker’s tinsel leads, which are not covered under the limited warranty. We recommend that
only those individuals with experience in soldering heat-sensitive electronics attempt this

procedure. If you’re not, then the use of female slide terminals would be a more ideal choice
for connection. In the case of the use of female slide terminals, be careful in the connection

process, as the negative terminal on the speaker can be fragile given its small size.

With the speakers connected, install them into their new locations, and turn the page for

detailed ideas for set-up and tuning of your L3’s.
