Cut speaker hole along outline 6 HOOKING UP YOUR SPEAKERS IDENTIFYING "+" AND "-" You need to be able to discriminate between the two conductors of the speaker wire. If your wire has transparent insulation, this is easy: One conductor will be copper-colored and the other silver-colored. Generally, professionals denote the copper one as POSITIVE (+) and the silver one as NEGATIVE (-). If you've used wire which has an opaque insulation, there are still differentiating markings. Examine the wire closely and look for: 1. A series of ribs or grooves on one conductor 2. A painted stripe or dotted line * Denote any of these as the POSITIVE (+) conductor for similar connections on both ends. NOTE: It is important that you label your wires left and right when you run them to eliminate future confusion. Cut off excess wire, leaving about 2 feet extending through the speaker cut-out hole. Pull the conductors apart so they're separated for the first two inches from their ends. Using a wire stripper, diagonal pliers or a knife, remove 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor. Twist the tiny strands in each conductor into tight spirals, as shown in Drawing 4. IMPORTANT: Route the speaker wire THROUGH the sheetrock as shown in Drawing 5. Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals. Press down on the protruding levers while inserting the wire into the hole. * Correct the POSITIVE (+) conductor to the RED terminal and the NEGATIVE (-) conductor to the BLACK speaker terminal. * Make sure that no stray strands of wire have gotten detached and are touching the other main wire.

Allow a bit of slack for expansion of building materials. · The actual speakers should not be installed until the wall board is in place. [. . . ]
