To connect the Klipsch KL-525-THX Speaker to your amplifier or receiver, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the power is off for both the speaker and the amplifier or receiver.
2. Identify the types of connectors you will be using for the speaker cables: bare wire, pins, or spade lugs.
3. Loosen the nuts on a pair of binding posts on the back of the speaker until the holes through the metal posts are exposed.
4. For bare wire: Pull the two conductors apart for about an inch and strip approximately 1/4-inch of insulation from the end of each. Twist the strands of wire on each individual conductor tightly together. Insert the bare wire through the holes in the binding posts and xxxx the nuts down finger-tight on the wire.
5. For pins: Insert the pins through the holes in the binding posts and xxxx the nuts down finger-tight on the pins. Make sure there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two pins or binding posts.
6. For spade lugs: Slip the spade lugs around the metal posts and xxxx the nuts down finger-tight on the lugs. Inspect to ensure they have remained firmly in place. Make sure there is no metal-to-metal contact between the two lugs or binding posts.
7. Repeat the above steps for the other speaker.
8. Make sure to connect the positive and negative output terminals on your amplifier or receiver to the matching input terminals on the speakers: positive to positive and negative to negative.
9. Ensure that the speakers are wired in phase, meaning the positive and negative connections are correct. This is important for proper sound quality.
10. Once the connections are made, you can turn on the power for both the speaker and the amplifier or receiver.
