Option #2
Two channel or Dolby Pro Logic receiver with no "Sub Out."
If you elect to use the speaker level inputs, use two-conductor 16 gauge
or thicker speaker wires. See your Polk dealer for wire recommendations.
Note that one of the speaker input terminals on the rear of the speaker is
marked red (+) and the other black (–). Make certain that you connect the
wire from the red (+) terminal of your receiver to the red (+) terminal on your
speaker, and the wire from the black (–) terminal of the receiver to the black
(–) terminal on your speaker. Speaker wire has some indication (such as color
coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain
consistency. If your subwoofer doesn't seem to produce much bass, it is
most likely that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. Double
check all connections for correct polarity.
Strip 1/2" (12mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors on both
ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of each conductor
to form two unfrayed strands.
• Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver
to the speaker level inputs of the powered subwoofer using
speaker wire.
• T hen, connect the left and right front speakers using speaker
wire from the speaker level outputs from the powered subwoofer.
• Connect the center channel speaker directly to the center
channel output from your receiver.
• Connect the rear surround satellites directly to the rear
or surround channel outputs from your receiver.
