(See Fig. 2) Preparing the speaker level hookup wire Your JBL dealer can recommend suitable cables, or you can buy wire at most hardware stores. High quality connectors and cable offer consistent performance that does not deteriorate over time. We recommend #16 AWG twoconductor insulated wire as a minimum size. If your CSS10 subwoofer is more than 30 feet (10 m) from your receiver/T. /source amplifier, use larger diameter wire. Making the speaker level hookup 1. First measure the distance from your receiver/T. /source amplifier to your CSS10 subwoofer. Next make two hookup wires this length. Strip off 3/8" of insulation from both ends of each conductor wire. Twist each set of thin wires into a tightly-bunched spiral. Now find a visual difference between the two conductors of each molded pair of speaker wire. 4 Speaker Level Output (to external speakers) Crossover Frequency Level +R L+ 50 (Hz) 200 Min Max +R L+ Reverse Normal R L Speaker Level Input (from amplifier) Polarity Line Input CSS10 Subwoofer RCA Phono Cables R +L -+ R L Receiver, TV, or Amplifie FIG. 1: Line Level Input Connectio 5 Speaker Level Output (to external speakers) Crossover Frequency Level +R L+ 50 (Hz) 200 Min Max +R L+ Reverse Normal R L Speaker Level Input (from amplifier) Polarity Line Input CSS10 Subwoofer Speaker Wire R +L -+ R L Receiver, TV, or Amplifie FIG. 2: Speaker Level Input Connecti 6 These differences can be a different color wire (copper or "silver"); a strand of yarn in one conductor; thin, raised ribs on one part of the outer insulation; or a printed "+" marking on one of the insulators. It doesn't matter which of the two strands of wire go to (+) and (-) on your receiver/T. /source amplifier and CSS10 subwoofer, just be sure to connect both left and right hookup wires identically...
