)51GN 1BHF 8FEOFTEBZ %FDFNCFS Connecting the Speakers Read the following before connecting your speakers: • Turn off your amp before making any connections. • The nominal impedance of these speakers is 8 Ω. 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.
