Use only an amp that supports this impedance. · Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (­) terminals to only negative (­) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural. · Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp. Operating Precautions The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage: 1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables. ) 7. · The speakers contain strong magnets, so do not put magnetic or iron objects such as screwdrivers close to them. If you do, the object may be attached to the magnets, causing personal injury or damage to the diaphragm.
