Installation
Cut Out
NOTE: This is the most important part of the entire installation. If you are not certain whether any obstructions exist behind the desired mounting area, you should start by cutting a small hole in the center of your penciled mounting hole with a drywall saw.
Trace a line using the Cut Out diameter. Cut along the traced line using a
drywall saw or rotary drill. Use a piece of sandpaper to sand down the cut out
edge for a smoother contour. ( See Diagram 1.)
Connection
When connecting any speakers to the amplifier or receiver, always make sure
the power is off. Locate the connection terminals on the back of your receiver
or amplifier. Always make sure to connect audio out from the back of your
receiver or amplifier to the speakers. ( See Diagram 2.)
NOTE: Not all Amplifier/Receivers can safely play more than one pair of
speakers at once. Please refer to your owner’s manual for impedance and
wattage compatibility.
Connecting multiple speakers in a series.
Mounting
Tighten the mounting brackets by simply turning the screws on the front of the
speaker baffle slowly clockwise. The mounting system and frame will secure the
speaker to the dry-wall and hold the speaker securely in place. Finish by
attaching the included magnetic grille. ( See Diagram 3.)
