1.If it is possible to lay a batt of insulation into the ceiling cavity do so. Remember to use equal amounts of insulation for each speaker.
2.Check the position of the Impedance jumper on the crossover PC board. Choose the 4 ohm position if you are using an amplifier capable of driving a 4 ohm load and you have only one pair of speakers connected. Otherwise, use the 8 ohm position (See Figure 15).
3.Separate the speaker wire so that at least two inches of each conductor are free.
4.Open the
5.Insert one unstripped wire fully into the black and one into the red terminal. Pay attention to the markings on the wire. Each speaker must be connected to the amplifier in the same way. Squeeze the red and black levers until they click sig- nifying that they have locked into the wire. Check to make sure that the knife assembly inside the no strip connector has properly pierced the wire (See Figure 16).

6.The DS6300AT and DS6500AT feature a separate frame assembly which installs with four clamps or mounting “dogs” which hold the frame in place. The dogs are tightened via four front-baffle screws. Tighten the dogs by turning the screws clockwise. DO NOT OVER- TIGHTEN THESE SCREWS. Over-tight- ening the clamps may make the grille difficult to install. (See Figure 17).
NOTE: The screws will turn easier if you “prime” them first. Before installing each speaker, turn the screws in and then turn them back out to their original positions.
