	allows for quick installation following these easy steps:

1.If the grille is on the speaker, remove it. It may be necessary to push one or two

of the mounting screws and its attached foot towards the baffle and against the inside surface of the grille to force the grille out of its retaining groove.

2.Attach the speaker cable observing the proper polarity with your amplifier: + (red speaker input) to + and – (black speaker input) to – . Make sure the left channel of the amplifier is connected to the left speaker, and the right channel is connected to the right speaker.

3.Make sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the opening, and insert the speaker into the ceiling. Position the speaker into the hole. Note: The flange of the speaker is designed to flex and conform to any small imperfections in the ceiling surface. Tighten the 4 screws on the front of the baffle only enough to make the flange become snug against the ceiling. As you tighten the screws, the feet will automatically flip into an outward position (See Figure 2), clamping the drywall between the feet and the flange.

CAUTION: Over tightening may warp the baffle, crack the ceiling, cause the flange to distort, and make the grille difficult to install.

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS

If you plan to paint your speakers, we recommend that it be done prior to installation. If you decide to paint your speakers sometime in the future, it is best to remove them by simply reversing the steps for SPEAKER INSTALLATION listed above. When painting the speakers, the paint masks provided in the carton must be installed in place of the grille. The grilles can also be painted. However, great care should be taken not to clog the holes, as this will greatly reduce the sound quality of the speakers. Before painting the grilles, remove the material under grille. Place this material back in place once the grille has been painted. SpeakerCraft recommends only light spray painting using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Do not paint the grilles while they are attached to the speaker. If it is necessary to paint the material under the grille, follow the same procedure used to paint the grilles.
