AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTSKlipsch speakers are highly efficient and will work well with a wide variety of amplifiers. Due to the high output levels, Klipsch speakers are capable of reproducing, exercise caution with the volume control. Excessive volume over long periods of time can permanently damage your hearing. Overdriving your amplifier could also damage your speakers. Check with your dealer to make sure your particular amplifier is best suited to your application. We want you listening for a lifetime.

CONVENTIONAL CONNECTIONUsing 18-gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the RED “positive” (+) terminal of the LEFT speaker to the RED “positive” (+) terminal of your amplifier’s LEFT channel.
