Connecting the subwoofer (with built-in amplifier)

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and the other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the negative and the other wire to the positive terminal.
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the ends of
1
the speaker cable, and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.
Loosen the speaker terminal.
2
Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper
