Method 2: Connection of banana plugs (Figure)

① Release the banana jacket;

② Loosen the screw;

③ Insert the speaker cable and tighten the screw;

④ Tighten the banana plug;

⑤ Insert the banana plug into the horn terminals of the speaker and amplifier.

Note: Please make sure that the speakers’ wire are not attached with each other, the speaker connection area is very narrow. It is easy to cause the positive and negative speakers’ wires to contact each other, which will result in no sound output.
