Test

the

speakers

To

make

sure

your

speakers

operate

correctly:

1.

Place

the

speakers

less

than

6

inches

(15

cm)

apart,

facing

each

other.

2.

Turn

on

your

receiver

or

amplifier,

and

set

it

to

MONO

(monophonic),

if

that

is

an

option

on

your

model.

3.

Set

the

balance

control

to

normal

(center

position).

4.

Play

some

deep

bass

passages

of

music

through

the

speaker.

The

sound

should

seem

to

come

from

a

point

between

the

two

speakers.

The

bass

should

be full

and

natural.

If

it

is

not,

one

of

the

connections

may

be

reversed,

causing

the

speakers

to

play

out

of

phase

(refer

to

"Make

the

connections"

on

page

To

correct

the

problem,

make

sure

all

the

wires

are

connected

positive

positive

(+

to

and

negative

to
