Therefore, we recommend you purchase a high-quality speaker cable to exert the performance of this unit. • Connect the screw-type terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker terminals on the amplifier with a speaker cable (sold separately). • Connect the + terminals on the amplifier and the speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the - terminals on both components using the other side of the cable. • Connect one speaker to the left (L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (R) terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, -). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. When connecting the speaker cable, leave the jumper cables in place.
