Attaching Speaker Wires

e E3 Series uses spring-loaded speaker wire terminals to rmly hold either a pin

connector or bare speaker wire. To obtain a better connection, it is important to slightly

tug on the wires aer they have been secured in the terminals. is will cause the small

teeth inside the connectors to 'bite' into

the wire. It is recommended that you use

wire which is color-coded or marked on

one side. If the distance is less than 50

feet long from the amplier or receiver to

the speaker, use 16-gauge or larger wire;

if the distance is more than 50 feet long,

use 14-gauge wire.

WARNING: Avoid routing the speaker

wire near other electrical wires, and avoid

nailing or stapling the speaker wire.

1. Separate the last 4 inches of the

speaker wire conductors at each

end of the wire.

2. Use a wire stripper to remove about

¼-inch of insulation from the end

of each conductor.

3. Twist the ends of each conductor to

secure loose strands.

4. Connect the positive wire to the red

terminal on the back of the speaker

by pressing down on the red posi-

tive (+) terminal's tab, inserting the

end of the positive conductor, and

releasing the tab.

5. Repeat this procedure to connect

the negative conductor to the black

negative (-) terminal.
