Protecting the speaker cord
The bare ends of the speaker cord can be affected by exposure to the elements. This is espe-
cially true of salt water or water containing chemicals such as chlorine or fertilizer. You may
use a silicone caulking material, such as RTV adhesive, to protect the connections. It is com-
monly available at hardware stores. If you do use caulking, apply it only after the cords are
connected. Check the connections annually, and reapply as needed.
