For the best stereo image, place a pair of
speakers so the distance between them is
about the same as the distance between the
listening area and the point halfway
between the speakers.
If you must place the speakers farther apart,
turn them slightly inward. If you must
place them closer to each other, turn them
slightly outward. Experiment with your
speakers’ placement to find the best
location.

Your local RadioShack store has a wide
selection of speaker wire. We recommend
you use color-coded or marked wire to help
you correctly connect the wire. Most colorcoded wires have a stripe running down one
of the conductors and marked wires have
ridges along one of the conductors.
With the speaker in its approximate
location, measure the distance from the
speaker to your receiver/amplifier.
CCCCaaaauuuuttttiiiioooonnnnssss::::
• Take care never to exceed the speaker’s
maximum power rating (see
“Specifications” on Page 4).
• To avoid any damage to the speaker or
amplifier/receiver, turn off the amplifier/
receiver before making connections.
Use 18-gauge speaker wire (not supplied)
for distances up to 50 feet. For greater
distances, use 16-gauge wire (not supplied).
NNNNooootttteeee:
: For maximum bass response and the
: :
best overall performance, connect the
terminals in phase, connecting positive (+)
to positive and negative (–) to negative.
1. Separate the wire’s two conductors at
both ends for a length of about 4
inches.
2. Strip the insulation from the ends of
each conductor to expose
1
/4-inch of
metal wire and twist the loose strands.

3. Press the tab on the speaker’s negative
(–) terminal and insert one of the wire
ends. Then release the tab.
4. Press the tab on the speaker’s positive
(+) terminal and insert one of the wire
ends. Then release the tab.
5. Using the speaker wire’s code as a guide,
connect the wire from the speaker’s
negative (–) terminal to the receiver/
amplifier’s left/right negative (–)
terminal.
6. Connect the wire from the speaker’s
positive (+) terminal to the receiver/
amplifier’s left/right positive (+)
terminal.
7. Repeat Steps 3–6 to connect another
speaker.
