Set the receiver to MONO (monophonic), if that is an option on your receiver. Make sure that all special effects (such as surround sound) are turned off. Play some deep bass passages of music through the speaker. The sound should seem to come from a point between the two speakers. If it is not, one of the connections may be reversed, causing the speakers to play out of phase (refer to "Make the connections" above).
