Properly Connecting Receiver to Speakers for Record Player

Okay, I'm just wondering if this connection is correct:

I only have two speakers right now. Both speakers have a positive (red) and a negative (black) copper wire.

A Speaker
Left Right
+ - + -

+ - + -
Left Right
B Speaker

Because I only have 2 speakers, there are only two wires for each speaker: one + and one - wire, totaling 4 wires: 2 + and 2 -

Now, there are 8 sockets: 4 + and 4 - . They are divided into 2 categories: Speaker A and Speaker B.

How should I set this up so that I get the best sound quality? Thanks guys.

You will get the same quality sound using either channel.Connect your wires to channel A. Left speaker red to positive black to negative.Right speaker red to positive black to negative.
