Connection Tips

Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and

(-) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identi-

catty: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (-) on the

speaker to (-) on the amplifier. Wiring "out of phase" results in

thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.
