CONNECTING THE SPEAKER

You need speak er wire (not supplied) to con­nect the speaker to your receiver or am plifier.
We recommend you use wire that is color-cod­ed or marked on one side. Use 18-gauge or
larger speaker wire for distances up to 50 feet.
For greater distances, use 16-gauge wire. Your
local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of
speaker wire.
