FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS:
• Make sure the material into which you plan
to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall,
paneling, stone, etc.) can support the
weight of the speakers (see specification
page for the weight of your model).
• Make sure the locations you select do not
conceal studs, electrical wiring or plumb-
ing. Prior to installation, hold the speaker
in your chosen location to make sure it
safely clears obstacles such as studs, cor-
ners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/win-
dow frames. Your cutout must be at least
1" (25mm) from adjoining walls or ceiling,
internal studs or plumbing.
• Using the template, trace the installation
location with a pencil. You can do this by
holding the template in your preferred
location and tracing around it (rectangle)
or within the template pop-out area
(round). Use a level to make certain the
template is straight and plumb. This is
the exact cutout size [figures 10a & 10b].
• Carefully cut the hole with the appropriate
cutting tool for your wall or ceiling material.
Start the hole by drilling a hole on the inside
of the tracing (with the drill bit touching the
line). Use this hole to insert the saw or knife
and begin cutting [figure 11].
• Once you have cut the hole, fish your previ-
ously positioned wiring out of the hole and
connect the speaker. Follow the hookup
directions included with your receiver. Strip
2inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of
the two conductors of the wire to expose
the bare metal and twist each of the con-
ductors into a single unfrayed strand (so
you have two unfrayed strands). Note that
one of the terminals on the rear of each
speaker is red (+) and the other is black
(-). Make certain that you connect the wire
from the red terminal (+) of your amplifier
or receiver to the red terminal (+) on your
speaker and the wire from the black termi-
nal (-) of your amplifier or receiver to the
black terminal (-) on your speaker. Most
wire has some indicator (such as color-cod-
ing, ribbing or writing) on one of the two
conductors to help you maintain consisten-
cy [figure 12].
