Then turn the terminal clockwise to
tighten it.
CONNECTIONS
With the speaker placed at the desired
location, measure the distance from the
speaker to the amplifier. Use 18-gauge
speaker wire for a distance of 50 feet or less.
For a distance greater than 50 feet, use
heavier 16-gauge wire.
For the maximum bass response and overall
best performance, connect the speaker in
phase (– to – and + to +).
3. Turn the speaker’s positive (+) terminal
counterclockwise to loosen it and insert
the other wire end into the opening.
Then turn the terminal clockwise to
tighten it.
Speaker wire is either color-coded, with a
different color on each side, or coded with a
ridge or stripe on one side to identify the
wire’s different sides, making the connection
easier. RadioShack stores sell speaker wire to
meet most needs.
4. Using the speaker wire’s coding as a
guide, connect the other end of the
speaker wire to the amplifier’s
corresponding (+ or –) speaker
terminals.
Follow these steps to prepare the wire and
connect the speaker.
1. Separate the wire conductors for a
length of about 2 inches, then remove
about 1/2 inch of insulation from the
wire’s ends using a wire stripper.
REMOVING THE FRONT
GRILLE
If you ever want to remove the front grille,

Care and Maintenance
Your Two-Way Die-Cast Speaker with DiPole Tweeter is an example of superior design
and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your speaker so you
can enjoy it for years.
Keep the speaker dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the speaker only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the speaker away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
of parts.
Handle the speaker gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the speaker to work improperly.
Wipe the speaker with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do
not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
speaker.
Modifying or tampering with the speaker’s internal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
speaker is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
Troubleshooting
This speaker has been manufactured to the specifications of RadioShack and is covered by a
limited warranty from RadioShack. If your speaker is not operating as it should, take it to your
