➤Install Rear Surround Speakers

Rear speakers are usually placed in the rear wall. If the speakers cannot be mounted in a rear wall, they are mounted in the ceiling. There are two options for ceiling mounting: Option 1: Seating area is within 16 feet of the back wall, or Option 2: There is an interrupted back wall or seating area is farther than 16 feet from the back wall. See illustrations below for mounting instructions and ceiling mounting options. Speaker wire should have been run by the builder from the audio/video component rack area to the speaker location.

❑1. Connect speaker wires to left and right rear speakers making note of how the right (+ and –) and left (+ and –) wires are connected.

❑2. Tilt speaker into opening until it is flush against the wall or ceiling.

❑3. Use the two #8 x 1-1/2” Phillips panhead screws supplied with the speaker to screw the inner side of the speaker to the stud. Flippers are provided for the side of the speaker if no stud is available.

❑4. If speaker is in ceiling, use screws to mount speaker to framing.

❑5. Attach the grill frame to the speakers using the four #6 x 3/8” Phillips panhead screws supplied with the speaker.

❑6. Carefully push perforated

steel grill into grill frame. If grill does not fit tightly into the frame, use pliers to gently bend the edge (or lip) of the frame out slightly as shown.
