Measure enough wire to reach from your receiver or amp to each speaker. Keep in mind the extra length needed for running the wire around doors. Leave yourself about 12" of extra slack to allow moving the speakers or receiver without having to disconnect the wires. note that one of the terminals on the rear of the speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the amplifier to the black (-) terminal on your speaker (Figure 5). Most wire has some indication (such as color coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consistency. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from each of the two conductors on both ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of each conductor to form two unfrayed strands (Figure 6). Connect two conductors to the receiver or amp (refer to the owner's manual supplied with your electronics for assistance with proper hookup). Compatible with 8 o Use with amplifiers 10 to 150 watts/cha Refer to owner's ma complete hook-up i and placement guid Your speakers will work well with a variety of electronic components. As little as 10 watts per channel will deliver adequate listening levels in most rooms. If you have a large room or intend to play your system at loud listening levels, more power is necessary to achieve the best performance. If you are using a Dolby AC-3 surround processor, use the "Small" setting for the rear channel speaker operation. See the instruction manual of your receiver or processor for more detail. Your Polk loudspeakers are made with the highest quality materials for years of trouble free performance. However, damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than its power can clearly produce (usually beyond the "1 to 2 O'clock" position on the volume control). This results in very high levels of audible distortion, originating in the amplifier, which adds a harsh, gritty sound to the music. Contrary to popular belief, a speaker is more likely to be damaged by trying to get too much volume from a low powered amp or receiver than from a high powered one.
