The most positive connection is usually madeby directly connecting clean, bare wire (exposed by stripping theinsulation from the ends of the wire) to the terminal posts.For this type of connection, loosen the knobs on the terminals toexpose the holes in the terminal shafts and insert the bare endof each speaker wire into the hole exposed on the terminal shaft.(Again, make sure to connect amplifier “+” to speaker “+” andamplifier “–” to speaker “–”.)
