EMP Tek CS100 Installation And Operation Manual - page 7
The CS100 & CS100C use spring-loaded speaker wire terminals to firmly hold
either a pin connector or bare speaker wire. To obtain a better connection, it
is important to slightly tug on the wires after they have been secured in the
terminals. This will cause the small teeth inside the connectors to 'bite' into the
wire. It is recommended that you use wire which is color-coded or marked on
one side. If the distance is less than 50 feet long from the amplifier or receiver
to the speaker, use 16-gauge or larger wire; if the distance is more than 50 feet
long, use 4-gauge wire.
WARNING: Avoid routing the speaker wire near other electrical wires, and avoid
nailing or stapling the speaker wire.
. Separate the last 4 inches of the speaker wire conductors at each end of
the wire.
2. Use a wire stripper to remove about ¼-inch of insulation from the end of
each conductor.
. Twist the ends of each conductor to secure loose strands.
4. Connect the positive wire to the red terminal on the back of the speaker
by pressing down on the red positive (+) terminal's tab, inserting the end
of the positive conductor, and releasing the tab.
5. Repeat this procedure to connect the negative conductor to the black
negative (-) terminal.
