7.Temporarily place a Russound speaker into the cut-out to insure that it fits properly. It’s okay if the hole is slightly off/larger by 1/8”, since it will be covered by the speaker’s outside frame. Actual installation will happen later, after you’ve routed the speaker wires.

8.Repeat steps 1 through 7 for the other speaker.

9.Now it’s time to drill the hole on the OTHER end -at the point where the wires from the speakers will exit to the amplifier/receiver.

-Use the same 1-inch drill bit as before.

-If you want a custom look, install an outlet box against a stud and cover it with a single outlet plate which has one hole in the middle for the wires to exit from OR order from your Russound dealer a Russound Stereo Pair Wall Plate Connector.

HOOKING UP YOUR SPEAKERS

IDENTIFYING “+” AND “-”

You need to be able to discriminate between the two conductors of the speaker wire. If your wire has transparent insulation, this is easy: one conductor will be copper-colored and the other silver-colored. Generally, professionals denote the copper one as POSITIVE (+) and the silver one as NEGATIVE (-).

If you’ve used wire which has an opaque insulation, there are still differ- entiating markings. Examine the wire closely and look for

1.A series of ribs or grooves on one conductor

2.A painted stripe or dotted line

-Denote any of these as the POSITIVE (+) conductor for similar con- nections on both ends.

NOTE: It is important that you label your wires left and right when you run them to eliminate future confusion.
