IMPORTANT: WIRE SIZE
Ordinary commercial 18-guage, stranded, insulated wire may be used for
connection of ALTEC loudspeakers. This is considered minimum size wire for
speaker/amplifier connections up to 30 feet. For wire runs longer than 30 feet,
16-guage or larger wire is recommended.
STEP 1: Strip 0.5" of insulation off of both ends of the speaker wire if it has
not already been done.
STEP 2: Insert the bare end of the marked wire (usually marked with a
colored pattern on its insulation) into the hole in the positive (+)
speaker terminal post. Tighten the nut down securely.
STEP 3: Insert the bare end of the second wire into the hole in the negative
(-) speaker terminal post. Tighten the nut down securely.
STEP 4: Lay out the wire over to the amplifier.
STEP 5: Connect the other end of the marked wire (refer to step 2) to the
positive (+) 8
Ω
terminal on the amplifier.
STEP 6: Connect the second wire to the negative (-) 8
Ω
terminal on the
amplifier.
STEP 7: Power up the amplifier and enjoy the great ALTEC sound.
