Installation Instructions
Choosing the Location:
•The mounting surface should be between 1.2" and 3.7" thick, and with at
least 3.7" clearance behind the mounting surface and no wall studs or other
objects to block the back of the speaker.
•Use the "speaker cutout template" to mark the location for mounting the
speaker.
Preparing the Speaker:
•If you want to paint the plastic frame & grille, paint them before connecting
the speaker wire or mounting the speaker.
•Use care when removing the speaker grilles from the micro-flange as they
fit very tightly. Excessive force may cause damage to the speakers, grilles,
and/or the speaker frame.
•When painting the frame, remove the grille and insert the supplied
cardboard paint mask to prevent the paint from entering the speaker.
Connecting the Speaker Wires:
•Route the speaker wire from the receiver to the speaker.
•Separate about 4" of speaker wire at each conductor end.
•Using a wire stripper, remove about 6mm (1/4") of insulation from each
wire.
•Twist the ends of each wire to prevent fraying.
•Connect a marked wire to a red speaker terminal by pressing the release
tab, inserting the wire into the hole, and then releasing the tab. Repeat this
procedure to connect the unmarked wire to the black terminal.
•Connect the marked wire coming from the speaker's red terminal to the red
or positive ( + ) terminal on the amplifier, then connect the unmarked wire
coming from the speakers black terminal to the black or negative (-)
terminal on the amplifier
Mounting the Speaker
•Carefully remove the speaker grille to expose mounting screws.
•Be sure the mounting tabs are turned inward, then place the speaker into
the mounting hole.
•Using the 4 supplied screws, tighten the mounting tabs until the speaker is
mounted firmly.
•Replace the grille
