Wiring
1. Install the speaker wires following
all local codes for electrical wiring
installation. Use class 2 wiring,
and 12 gauge is recommended, 16
gauge is the minimum.
2. Follow common low voltage
practices like avoiding high voltage
electrical wiring, or crossing them
perpendicularly. This will reduce the
chance of picking up hum or other
interference.
3. Make the speaker wire connec-
tions to the subwoofer terminal cup,
observing the correct polarity. The
terminals are spring-loaded.
4. Secure the wire to the studs with
electrical staples to prevent rattles
and movement in operation.
5. Do an electrical continuity test to
make sure the connections are
good from the amplier-end of the
speaker wire to the ends of the
two pre-installed wires coming out
from the inside of the subwoofer.
Temporarily remove the cardboard
debris shield to reach the wires.
6. Use caulk to seal the nearest cable
holes to the cabinet. This will pre-
vent air movement and secure the
cables in place. Due to the nature
of subwoofers, it is a good idea to
secure the wiring from vibration as
much as possible. Do not have the
weight of the cables hanging on the
terminals.
