Connect An Amplifier Inside A Home

Using an amplifier to power speakers inside a home can drastically increase the sound quality of your home stereo. You can also use an amplifier to power your surround sound system to improve your television or movie-viewing experience. Most amplifiers are plug-and-play and simply require a few cables and simple wiring.


Instructions


1. Hook up the audio cable to the amplifier by connecting the output audio cable wires to your amplifier's audio input. Do this by connecting the white output of the cable into the white input of the amplifier and the red output of the cable into the corresponding red input on the amplifier.








2. Connect the other end of the audio cable into the device you'd like to play audio from such as a television or video game console.








3. Connect speakers to the amplifier via speaker wire connections, making sure to match polarities by connecting positive speaker wire outputs to positive amplifier inputs and vice versa for negative polarities.


4. Plug in an amplifier to the designated amplifier plug-in on your amplifier if you opt to use an amplifier in your home stereo. Your amplifier will have an input labeled "subwoofer." You'll also need to plug your amplifier into a wall outlet.


5. Plug the amplifier into a wall outlet. Turn on the amplifier and switch it to the same channel as noted in step one and turn on the audio device.
