The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.

Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier to speaker connections. Which

gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speak-

er. The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.

Wire Recommendation

Will you be driving it with a 2-channel amplifier or a designated subwoofer am-

plifier? The 2-channel option works fine but the separate subwoofer amplifier will

allow you to adjust the subwoofer output to achieve the sub-to-satellite balance

you want regardless of subwoofer location or number of satellite speakers used.

If you opt for the separate subwoofer amplifier, you will need to run three paired

speaker wires to the speaker location.

Planning: Amplifier Wiring

Find a location for the subwoofer. Positioning it near the satellite speakers is visu-

ally and sonically advantageous; being close to walls, especially corners, is very

helpful when maximum loudness is important. Start with where you want the port

opening to be. Then determine where the enclosure needs to be placed to allow

the port tube to easily reach the desired port opening location. For the subwoofer

to fit, the joists need to be at least 14” apart.

Planning: Location

You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified

as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some

means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identification

may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive

(+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire

is used for positive and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other

About Speaker Wire

Hold the template to the joist that you

plan on attaching the subwoofer en-

closure to. Drill six holes through the

marked locations on the template us-

ing a 5/16” (8mm) drill bit. Face the en-

closure’s rubber damping pad towards

the joist and secure it in place with the

supplied lag screws and washers. We

recommend that one person holds the subwoofer in place while another tightens

the screws to secure the DSUB to the joist.

colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to

be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.

On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified as red

for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the

speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive

connector in the amplifier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

Enclosure

Slip the trim ring through the hole in

the drywall and into the port open-

ing. You may need to rotate it slightly

to get it to seat into place. Using the

three supplied screws and a #1 phil-

lips screwdriver, fasten the trim ring to

the port opening so that it fits snugly

against the ceiling surface.

Use the 8 supplied screws to attach

the port tube to the enclosure. Test

the wired DSUB to see that it’s working

properly. If you are using 2 channels

of input, make sure to test both.

The Mini Port Bracket will serve as

your new construction bracket. You

can attach it directly to a joist or use

the supplied new construction wings to position it precisely where you want it.

3. Installation aer Drywall

2. Installation before Drywall

Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several

methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.

Wire Routing

One option is to li up the carpet and

route “tape wire” under the carpet.

Under the Carpet

The wire can be routed behind the

baseboard by cutting a groove out of

the back of the baseboard, or by buy-

ing special baseboard designed for

concealing wires.

Behind the Baseboard

When available, you can route the wire

through an attic or crawlspace.

Attic or Basement

When running wires through a wall, be

sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC

wiring, pipes, and ducts.

Through Walls

If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the

installation process will be a bit dierent (although much simpler). For these

situations, it’s recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how to

install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our web-

site. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.

For New Construction

Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12 mm) of the

insulation o both ends of the wire. To

avoid stray strands, twist them at the

end. Connect the wire to the amplifier,

and make sure the wire connected to

the le speaker output will be routed

to the le speaker, right output to right

speaker, etc.

Wire

Insert the wires into the connectors,

making sure that the positive wire is

being attached to the red connec-

tion and the negative wire is being

attached to the black connection. If

the negative and positive wires are

switched, speaker performance will be

drastically impacted.
