- Determine the locations for the speakers and estimate the length of the additional wire you will need for each speaker.
- Connect the speaker wires to the (+) and (-) inputs based on the desired voltage and wattage.
- Feed the speaker wire through the hole in the seal cover. Replace the seal cover and tighten it.
- If sending a wire from the first speaker to an additional speaker is required, remove the plastic knockout.
