AW500TTblk / AW500TTwht: Attach the speaker cable,
observing the proper polarity with your amplifier, + to +
(red) and – to – (black). Either channel may be attached
to either terminal set, however, be sure that polarity (+
and –) is correct on each channel or the performance of
the speaker will be seriously affected as one channel will
cancel out the other.

PLACEMENT
Placement Under Eaves and Outdoors
When mounting your speakers outdoors, the eaves of the
roof provide an ideal location. They reduce the exposure
of constant direct sunlight, salt spray, and precipitation. If
installing speakers on a boat, the wheelhouse provides
the best location for the same reasons. Following these
suggestions will help to ensure that your speakers will last
a lifetime.

Installing Mounting Bracket
Placement on a Wall or BookShelf
When placing your speakers on a wall or bookshelf,
optimal sound will be achieved if they are mounted at ear
level or slightly higher. The usual listening area should be
no closer to the speakers than the distance between the
speakers themselves.
Screw mounting bracket to wall
either horizontally or vertically
Secure speaker to mounting brack

ADJUSTING THE PIVOTING TWEETER(S)
Depending upon your listening area, you may find the
sound more pleasing by pointing the tweeters in a particu
lar direction. If additional treble is desired, simply point the
tweeter(s) towards that area; if less treble is required, point
the tweeter(s) away.
Push gently at the edge of the
tweeter to point the tweeter in
the desired direction.
