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 along the included template. 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.)
Mounting Tighten the mounting brackets by simply turning the screws on the front of the speaker baffle slowly clockwise. The quick-turn mounting system and frame will “sandwich” or clamp around the dry-wall to hold the speaker securely in place once fully tightened to the locked position. (See Diagram 2.)
Connection When connecting any speakers to the amplifier always make sure the power is off. Locate the connection terminals on the back of your amplifier. Always make sure to connect audio out from the back of your amplifier to the speakers. (See Diagram 3.)
NOTE: Not all Amplifiers can safely play more than one pair of speakers at once. Please refer to your amplifier owner’s manual for impedance and wattage compatibility. __
