I recently bought this ceiling speaker (http://www.3acctv.com/upload/uploads/Specification/T-103C.pdf), as shown in the PDF it has 3 wires attached to it. I am no expert in this, so I was wondering if someone could help explain the difference between the 3 wires.
I do understand the concept of +/- wires and how to connect them, the fact that this speaker has 3 wires baffles me though.
Thanks!

As it says in the PDf as well:
With power tabs for 3W and 6W.
And:
"Black:Com Red:1.7KΩ White:3.3KΩ"
Or drawn, its equivalent resistances are:

You connect Black & Red for 6W at 100V, Black & White for 3W at 100V. Do NOT use the other wire in either case.
