•Make sure that the entire path between speakers and amplifier is clear and not obstructed by a floor or ceiling joist or masonry wall which you won’t be able to drill through.
•Remember that the other end of the wires has to come out somewhere to connect with the amplifier. Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an outlet hole easily and in an
PAINTING THE SPEAKERS
If you like the designer white finish which has been applied to your Russound
The speaker’s outer surfaces are primed to accept ordinary latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint. Because the surface behind the perforated grille should remain black, you will need to mask this area off before you begin painting or use the included template cover.
1.Remove the speaker grilles. From the back of the speaker, push the clamp
2.Attach masking tape to the cardboard masking template which has been included with your speakers.
3.Press the template onto each speaker’s surface to cover the woofer and tweeter.
4.Paint the outer speaker frame and grille separately. A roller with a short or medium nap will work much better than a brush. If you’re using spray paint, make sure that you achieve the same coverage on both grille and frame.
5.After the paint has thoroughly dried, remove the template and/or masking tape.
There’s no need to replace the grill at this time since you will need access to the inner speaker surface during installation.
CUTTING HOLES FOR THE SPEAKERS
Wallboard is an easy surface in which to make a relatively neat hole. Make sure you don’t make it any bigger than the template. In the following steps, you’re going to locate a section of wall between two studs, mark the outer boundaries of the hole, drill a small hole in the center to confirm your location and then cut the main hole.
