PREPARING THE SPEAKER
If you choose to paint the frame and grille, paint them and let them dry
before you connect the speaker wire or mount the speaker. To remove the grille
for painting, insert a paper clip into one of the grille openings then pull
up. Or, you can carefully twist the plastic frame back and forth until the
grille edge becomes exposed, then lift the grille to remove it. or use the
grill remover to remove the grille.
Carefully remove the dust cloth from behind the grill and replace it after you
are finished painting. You can also paint the frame to match your wall or
ceiling. To prevent paint from entering the speaker, remove the grill and
insert the supplied cardboard paint mask. After the paint is dry, remove the
paint mask and replace the grill.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKER WIRES
Your local electronics store sells a wide selection of speaker wires. We recommend you use wire that is color-coded or marked on one side to help you connect the wire correctly
- Route the speaker wire to the speaker from the receiver.
- Separate about 4″(101mm) of Speaker wire at each end.
- Using a wire stripper, remove about 1/4″(6mm) of insulation from each wire. Then twist the ends of each wire.
- Connect the 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 to the left channel of the receiver’s positive (+) terminal. Then connect the unmarked wire to the left Channel of the amplifier’s negative (-) terminal.
MOUNTING THE SPEAKER
- Remove the grill to expose the mounting screws.
- Be sure the mounting tabs are turned in, allowing the speaker to fit into the hole. Then insert the speaker into the mounting hole.
- Use the four screws to tighten the mounting tabs to the wall or ceiling. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws.
- Replace the grille.
To remove the speaker from the wall or ceiling, loosen the screws
only far enough to remove the speaker. This will prevent the loss of the
mounting tabs.
