If you encounter insulation behind the wall

You can expect to find insulation in an exterior wall and sometimes it appears in an interior wall as well. If the insulation found there is malleable, you can cut it and remove some of it to make room for the speaker. Other types of insulation will be difficult or possibly dangerous to handle.

CAUTION: Beware of hidden nails when reaching into the wall to remove insulation.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and protection for your mouth, nose, and eyes before handling insulation that contains fiberglass.

Cut some insulation away from both above and below the speaker hole.

Insert and wire the speaker

You need a Phillips-head screwdriver and optional tape to complete this step.

If your wall is not pre-wired, refer to “Planning to run speaker cord” starting on page 11. When wire is within reach of the hole you have cut, follow the procedure below:

1.From inside the newly cut speaker hole, locate and pull out 14 inches (36 cm) or more of the pre-wired speaker cord (Figure 25).
