Klipsch is a quality name in stereo and home theater speakers. If you just purchased a Klipsch home theater speaker set-up and aren't sure install each speaker, there's no need to worry. Setting up Klipsch speakers requires a tape measure and some simple steps.
Instructions
1. Decide where your front Klipsch speakers will go. Klipsch recommends spacing the front speakers six to 15 feet apart. Keep them at least two feet from the back and side walls. Each speaker should be the same distance from the TV and the chair or couch that you'll be sitting in. Ideally, keep the listening position within one to one and half times the distance between the front speakers.
2. Place the front speakers roughly even with the television and angle the speakers at the listening position.
3. Place your center channel speaker as close to the TV screen as you can, either on top or underneath. It should be aimed directly out at the listening position and directly between the two front speakers. Use the levelling foot on the bottom of the speaker to level it and keep it angled at the listener.
4. Place the rear speakers directly behind the . When mounting them on walls, they should be five to seven feet high.
5. Measure out the distances to each speaker in your system along the path that you plan to mount the wire. Cut the speaker cable to size for each speaker.
6. Split the ends of each cable into the two strands. Strip about a half inch of wire from each strand. Twist each wire so that the little strands form one solid wire.
7. Find the appropriate output on your receiver or amplifier for the speaker that you're connecting. Insert one strand of speaker wire into the red positive output and the other into the black negative. Connect the positive end of the cable to the positive speaker terminal and the negative end to the negative terminal.
8. Repeat step 7 for all speakers in your Klipsch system.
9. Set the size of your speakers using the menu of your receiver and test out the new system.
