Complete Noob

So yeah, I am in need of some quick help. I am having a party in 2 hours, and I just bought some outdoor Atrium 45's, and I have the harnesses all attached to the wall, but I am a complete noob, and don't know how to actually plug the cables into the speakers themselves!


On the back is two threaded nubs (one red and one black). If you screw them out, they both reveal a hole going all the way through.

HOW THE HECK DO I PUT THE WIRE INTO THESE SPEAKERS!!!!!!

    unscrew the knobs (binding posts) to expose the holes, put the speaker wire in the holes and screw the knobs tight to secure the wire. Then run the wire into the back of your receiver (make sure to match positives and negatives) and you should be good to go.

    welcome to club polk
    Unscrew the red and black knobs to reveal the hole - put the exposed speaker wire through the hole and tighten the knobs securing the wire in the hole......make sure that the wire going into the red connection on the speaker is also going into the red connection on your amp/reciever.....same for the black connection......

    good luck and enjoy the party

    haha, I might have been first but yours is better suited for the beginner audience.

    Enjoy the party :)
