When you have decided on the location for the speaker, trace this template lightly in pencil
where the hole should be. If unsure on whether there may or may not be studs where the
planned speakers are located, use a keyhole or drywall saw to drill a ⅛” hole in the center
of the template, then insert a bent coat hanger through the hole to feel for obstructions.

5. Required Tools
The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.
Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier to speaker connections. Which
gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speaker.
The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.

Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12 mm) of the
insulation o both ends of the wire. To
avoid stray strands, twist them at the
end. Connect the wire to the amplifier,
and make sure the wire connected to
the le speaker output will be routed
to the le speaker, right output to right
speaker, etc.

Use a two conductor wire that allows you to identify one conductor from the oth-
er. This designation may be obvious or as subtle as a ridge on one conductor.
It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive (+) and negative
(-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire is used for positive
and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other colors or patterns are
used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to be positive and nega-
tive as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.
On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified as red
for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the
speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive
connector in the amplifier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several
methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.

The wire can be routed behind the

If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the
installation process will be a bit dierent (although much simpler). For these
situations, it’s recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how
to install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our
website. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.
