Removing the AS515 Speaker | AS515 SIDE VIEW |
Should it ever become necessary to remove the AS515 speaker from the wall, simply remove the grill and turn the six mounting screws
Grill removal
The grill uses a pressure fi t relying on the contact of both surfaces to hold it in place. If the grill becomes distorted it becomes diffi cult to remove or reinstall. Proper care should be taken to not distort its shape while removing it.
If the speaker is not yet installed
While looking at the motor structure (rear) of the speaker assembly, rotate two of the opposing mounting legs outward and then evenly press them towards the grill. This should push the grill out so that you can remove it (Fig. 7).
If the speaker is installed | Figure 7 | |
Locate a small hook tool available at most auto parts stores or |
| |
home improvement shops resembling a dentists pick (a bent |
| |
paper clip or stiff wire will work as well), hook your |
| |
chosen device into the metal mesh of the grill near a corner/ | Figure 8 | |
edge and gently pull it towards you, once it moves a slight bit | ||
| ||
make certain you change positioning of the hook to another |
| |
location to pull from so you do not distort the grill (Fig. 8). DO |
| |
NOT PRY ON THE GRILL! |

Recommended Speaker Wire Gauges
The resistance of the speaker wire in your installation can cause your speaker to perform at less than an optimum quality level. Excess resistance, caused by using an undersized speaker wire, can result in loss of detail and defi nition in the low frequency region of your audio program, as well as a loss of dynamic range.
To prevent this effect in your installation, we have recommended speaker wire gauges that should not exceed 0.5 Ohms resistance over the recommended length of wire run.
For the AS515 speaker, we suggest the following minimum speaker wire gauge be used:
50’ or less – 16 Gauge
