E.

Next,

make

sure

your

receiver

or

amplifier

is

switched

"off"

and

unplugged.

Connect

the

other

end

of

the

wire

to

the

terminals

marked

"left"

on

the

rear

of

the

receiver/amp,

mak-

ing

sure

to

connect

the

positive

side

of

the

wire

to

the

receiver/amp

posi-

tive

terminal

(marked

(

+

)

or

colored

red)

and

the

negative

side

of

the

wire

to

the

negative

terminal

(marked

(

—

)

or

colored

black).

Refer

to

Figure

3.

The

idea

is

to

make

sure

that

the

speaker's

positive

terminal

is

con-

nected

to

the

receiver/amp's

positive

terminal,

and

the

negatives

are

con-

nected

properly

as

well.

Make

sure

all

connections

are

secure.

F.

Repeat

Steps

D

and

E

for

the

Part

2

(right)

speaker

and

right

receiver/amp

side.

Make

sure

all

connections

are

secure.

G.

Finally,

check

carefully

to

make

sure

that

no

loose

strands

of

wire

are

brushing

against

the

other

terminal

on

either

the

speaker

or

receiver/amp.

Such

"bridged"

wires

create

short

circuits

which

can

damage

your

amplifier.

Repair

any

loose

wire

strands

before

plugging

in

your

receiver/amp.

If

you

are

not

sure

the

speakers

are

hooked

up

correctly

or

in

phase"

(positive

to

positive,

negative

to

nega-

tive),

try

this

simple

test:

1.

Set

your

receiver/amp

to

MONO

(monophonic

or

"L

+

R").

Be

sure

that

the

balance

control

is

in

the

normal

or

centered

position.

2.

Move

the

speakers

until

they

are

facing

each

other

closely.

3.

Play

some

music

with

deep

bass.

If

the

speakers

are

hooked

up

cor-

rectly,

the

sound

will

come

from

a

point

between

the

speakers

and

will

have

full,

natural

bass

response.

4.

If

you

do

not

hear

much

deep

bass,

shut

the

receiver/amp

off.

Then

reverse

the

+

and

—

connections

on

one

speaker

only

and

repeat

the

test.

Use

whichever

connection

produces

the

most

bass.
