Note
that
one
of
the
terminals
is
marked
with
red
band
(+)
and
the
other
is
marked
with
black
band
(-).
Make
certain
that
you
connect
the
wire
from
the
red (+)
terminal
of
your
amplifier
or
receiver
to
the
red (+)
terminal
on
your
speaker
and
the
wire
from
the
black
(-)
terminal
of
your
amplifier
or
receiver
to
the
black
(-)
terminal
on
your
speaker.
Most
speaker wire
has
some
indicator
(such as color-coding,
ribbing
or
writing)
on
one
of
the
two
conductors
to
help
you
maintain
consistency.
It
is
essential
to
connect
both
speakers
to
the
amplifier
in
the
same
way
(in
phase).
If
you
experience
a lack
of
bass
or
poor
surround
effect,
it
is likely
that
one
or
more
of
the
channels
is
connected
in
incorrect
polarity
and
needs
to
be
rewired,
paying
closer
attention
to
connect
positive
to
positive;
negative
to
negative
on
all
channels.
To
connect
wire
to
the
binding
post
[see figure above],
unscrew
the
knurled
nut
and
insert
the
bare
wire
into
the
hole
near
the
base
of
the
binding
post.
Do
not
insert
the
insulated
part
of
the
wire
into
the
hole
as
this
will
not
give
you
a
good
connection.
Twist
the
hex
nut
back
down
the
binding
post
until
it
firmly
meets
the
wire.
Do
not
over-tighten.
Connect
a single
RCA
cable
from
the
"SUB OUT"
of
your
receiver
to
the
LFE
input
of
the
subwoofer
(not
included).
This
connecting
method
bypasses
the
subwoofer's
internal
"crossover"
or
low
pass
filter
and
relies
on
the
crossover filter
built
into
your
receiver.
