Making Binding Post/Speaker Wire Connections Note that one of the speaker input terminals on the rear of the subwoofer is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your receiver to the red (+) terminal on your subwoofer and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the receiver to the black (-) terminal on your subwoofer. Speaker wire has some indication (such as color coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consistency. Note: If your subwoofer doesn't seem to produce much bass, it is most likely that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. double check all connections for correct polarity. Strip 1/2" (12mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors on both ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of each conductor to form two un-frayed strands (one on each end). unscrew the binding post hex nuts several turns. Insert the exposed wire, ensuring that none of the bare wire ends touch each other, because contact could result in an electrical short and cause your receiver to turn off or malfunction. Connect a single RCA cable from the "SUB OUT" of your receiver to the LFE input of the subwoofer. This connection method bypasses the subwoofer's internal filter and relies on the filter built into your receiver.
