Tools & Items
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.

There are several ways to configure our Director Multi-Finish speakers. Our
preferred method is to use dedicated amplifiers for the speakers and subwoofers,
(such as our SubA150 and A2150) However, this system is designed to be easily
run o of a single amplifier as well. Here are a few options:
Wiring Options
With 4- Ohm stable amplifiers, you can use up to four Director Multi-Finish
Speakers per channel. If you’re using the Origin DSUB6 with the D39 speakers we
recommend our SubA150 or SubA500 for the subwoofer.

2 Channel Amp
For a setup with four speakers and one woofer, a two channel amplifier can be
used. First, both amplifier outputs should be connected to the DSUB6 subwoofer’s
L/R inputs. From there the subwoofer has L/R outputs to connect to the D39
speakers. Each output can be connected up to 2 speakers in parallel (4 speakers
total plus the subwoofer).

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.
1. Installing the Wire
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
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.

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
rout “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 dierent (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
website. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.

When you’ve decided on the locations for all of the speakers, use the template
to trace a circle lightly in pencil where the hole should be. (If you don’t have a
3. Cutting the Hole
In some situations the speakers may look better if the color matched the walls,
ceiling, or trim in the room. This can be accomplished by painting the grille. The
grille must be painted with spray paint, and most hardware stores will mix a can
of paint to match whatever color you need. Before painting, carefully remove the
thin cloth on the underside of the grille. Lightly spray the front of the grille with the
paint from a distance, being careful not to plug any of the holes. Diluting the paint
with paint thinner will lessen the risk of filling any holes. If a hole gets plugged use
a can of compressed air to open it. Once the paint is dry, put the cloth back on
the grille.
