Installation

Note: The speakers should be mounted on a flat surface to form a good seal between the speaker flange and the mounting surface.

1.Make a 75⁄8-inch (194mm) cutout using the supplied template. It is not necessary to remove fiberglass insulation that may be behind the wall.

2.Run wire from amplifier to cutout. Allow an extra foot of wire at the cutout.

3.Remove the speaker grille. Carefully pry up one side with an awl or small screwdriver.

Wall or Ceiling Material

The AMC650r and AMC680r have heavy-duty spring-loaded push terminals for their input connections. The terminals will accept wire or pins up to 5⁄32-inch in diameter.

4. If connecting with bare wire, strip the wire so that approximately 1⁄2-inch is exposed. Twist the wire into a bundle so that there are no stray strands. Push the end of the terminal to expose the hole in the side of the terminal. Then insert bare wire into the hole and release.

5.The insulation of the wire will have a stripe or ribs on one side. Use this marking to ensure the + (red) terminal of the speaker is connected to the + terminal of the amplifier and the

– terminal of the speaker is connected to the – terminal of the amplifier.

Warning! To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making connections to the speaker system.

6. Place the speaker in the hole. Rotate the speaker until the tweeter waveguide is aimed in the desired direction. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the four pivoting mounting arms. Avoid overtightening, as this could break the mounting arms or damage the ceiling surface.

7.Install the grille. Press firmly arund the outer edge of the grille to seat it firmly in place.
