FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

PAINTING THE GRILLE AND FRAME

After drywall is up, each HDLCR frame and grille may be painted without the need for primer. For best results, use a spray gun or airless sprayer, thin the paint to prevent clogging of the grille holes, and apply several light coats instead of one heavy one.

1.Paint each grille and let it dry before installation.

2.Paint each frame and let it dry before installation.

INSTALLING THE FRAME

1.Fill each wall cavity with insulation. Remember to use equal amounts of insulation for each speaker.

2.For existing construction, slip the mounting bracket through the hole and pull it toward you so that its front edge slides into the hole and stops in place.

NOTE: FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION, THE MOUNTING BRACKET SHOULD ALREADY BE IN PLACE

(AS DESCRIBED IN THE SECTION “NEW CONSTRUCTION: INSTALLING A BRACKET” ON PAGE 14.

3. Attach each frame to its brack- et using the supplied screws, as shown in Figure 13. The screws should pull the frame and bracket together (sandwich- ing the drywall) so that the frame is absolutely flush

with the wall surface. There should be no

gaps between the wall and the frame.
