Locate the hardware pack supplied with your new component set. Inside
you will find screws and crimp terminals.
The midrange and midbass speakers are each equipped with a small and a
large terminal. The large terminal is the positive (+) connection and the
small terminal is the negative (-) connection.
Find the corresponding female crimps in the hardware pack. Properly crimp
these connectors to the end of your chosen speaker wire. Attach the speaker
wire to the terminals on the speakers. Mount the speaker into its proper
location.

Attach the ends of the speaker wires to the corresponding screw terminals
on the supplied passive crossovers. Refer to the following drawings on pages
10 and 11 to assist in these connections.
Attach the wires from the tweeter to the crossover observing proper polarity.
Note that the crossover has three screws for the tweeter connection. The
extra terminal provides a choice of 2 dB of attenuation. Attenuation of the
tweeter output (reduced level) may be desirable when the tweeters need to
be mounted close to the listening position or when mounted close to glass
or other reflective surfaces. Attach the negative tweeter wire to the screw
terminal labeled (-). Attach the positive tweeter wire to the 0dB screw terminal
for full output, OR to the -2dB terminal for slightly reduced output.
Attach the wires from the midrange speaker to the corresponding screw
terminals on the crossover (FN-6 3 way crossover) if so equipped, again
observing proper polarity. A 2 dB attenuation screw is also provided for the
midrange speaker on the 3 way component sets.
Attach the wires from the midbass speaker to the screw terminals designated
"Woofer" on the crossover again observing speaker polarity.
The two remaining screw terminals on the crossover are the inputs. Attach
the speaker wires from the outputs of your amplifier here observing proper
polarity.
