Connection
Using a stereo receiver or multi-channel Amplier such as the OSD MX1260 connect the speakers. Please note, the red lead indicates
positive signal (+) and the black indicates negative signal (-). Connecting the positive and negative leads incorrectly will cause it to be
out of phase and will result in weak performance. (See Diagram 2)

System Diagrams
For optimum performance & sound quality we recommend combining the LS2 with our GLS8 In-Ground Subwoofer. Create an
unobtrusive stealthy outdoor sound system with the following system diagrams. Additional system congurations can be created for up
to 8 pairs of speakers using multichannel ampliers and or series parallel wiring using the following System Diagrams.
Note: Please consult your electronics manual for Impedance and Power Rating before wiring a multi speaker system.
