IMPORTANT! Installation Precautions
Due to the nature of this product, there are several precautions to follow before installation can begin.
1. Ensure that all wire run inside of walls and ceiling meets or
exceeds local fire codes for hidden wiring.
2. Determine wire lengths and select the proper gauge speaker wire
to use based on the table under Wire Gauge by Distance.
3. Do NOT connect the speakers to an amplifier rated above the
recommended amplifier power. Overdriving the speaker can
cause an overheating condition increasing the risk of injury.
4. Do NOT connect the amplifier end of the wire until all speakers
are wired and installed.
