Painting the Speaker Frame and Grille

Pre-wiring the Speaker (continued)

3.Secure the speaker wire to a framing member with a staple. If you are using a staple, be careful not to nick or pierce the wire. Make sure the wire is back far enough that the sheet rocker’s blade or router will not cut it.

4.After the sheetrock or finish material has been installed, use the cutout template that came in the speaker box to cut a hole in the sheetrock. Leave the wire loose enough that you can reach into the hole you will cut into the sheetrock. Be mindful of the studs or floor joists as you place the template.

5.See installing the speaker below and the wiring diagrams more information.

When you received your speaker, a paint shield was included. This shield can be used to protect the speaker when painting the speaker rim (frame). If you plan to paint your speaker, we recommend that it be done prior to installation. If you decide to paint your speaker sometime in the future, it is best to remove them by simply reversing the speaker installation steps. When painting the speaker, the paint shields provided in the packaging must be installed in place of the grille. The grille can also be painted. Painting the speaker grille should be done with a paint sprayer set to fine. Remove the grille from the speaker, peel off the grill fabric on the back of the grille and set aside. Place the grille on a flat surface. Do not use a brush or roller on the speaker grille as it will clog the holes, and this will greatly reduce the sound quality of the speakers. Do not paint the grille while attached to the speaker. Be sure to remove the paint shield from the speaker and replace the grille fabric to the back of the grille before reinstalling the grille and using the speakers.

Installing the Speaker

NOTE: Remove ¼-inch of the insulation from the wires before connecting to the speaker.

1.Locate the speaker wire previously run to the speaker location and connect the speaker wire to the terminal connections on the rear of the speaker. The positive conductor connects to the red terminal and the negative conductor connects to the black terminal, refer to the wiring diagram.

2.Install the speaker into cutout hole in the wall.

3.The speaker is secured by the eight dog legs. Tighten the eight screws on the front of the speaker with a screwdriver, which will rotate the dog legs out, and pull them towards the speaker. Tighten the screws until they are snug. Do not over tighten as this may make it difficult to install the grille.

4.Be sure to remove the paint shield before placing the grille on and before using the speakers.
