CONNECTING THE SPEAKER TO YOUR SYSTEM
- Remove the screws on the back of the speaker. Then, remove the waterproof seal and plastic cover from the terminal.
- The screw terminal connector accommodates speaker wire input and output, thus allowing users to easily daisy-chain speakers in 70V applications.
- Determine the locations for the speakers and estimate the length of the additional wire you will need for each speaker.
- Connect the speaker wires to the (+) and (-) inputs based on the desired voltage and wattage.
- Feed the speaker wire through the hole in the seal cover.
- Replace the seal cover and tighten it.
- If sending a wire from the first speaker to an additional speaker is required, remove the plastic knockout from the seal cover and add the provided collet nut.
PLEASE NOTE: The external nut requires a 7/8" wrench, and the internal nut requires a 15/16".
