4.2 Wiring Connections

These are passive speakers and require an external amplifier (not included) for operation. Connect the speakers to your amplifier using the provided speaker cables.

1. Prepare Cables: Strip a small amount of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables to expose the bare wire.
2. Connect to Speakers: Connect the positive (+) terminal (red) on the speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the amplifier. Connect the negative (-) terminal (black) on the speaker to the negative (-) terminal on the amplifier. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Connect to Amplifier: Repeat the process for the second speaker, ensuring correct polarity.

Important: Incorrect polarity can result in poor sound quality. Always match positive to positive and negative to negative.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your outdoor speakers.
