1. Determine the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement on page 1).
2.Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts, pocket doors or air returns in the wall or ceiling cavity that will interfere with the speaker.
3.The cutout for the S623SSTR, S621SSTR and SRS1 speakers is 8 5/32” (207mm) in diameter. There also must be at least 5 3/16” (152mm) depth within the ceiling cavity. The cutout for the S623SST is 6 13/16" x 10 11/16" (172mm x 270mm), and
there must be at least 3 7/8” (86mm) depth within the wall cavity.
4. Position the included cutout template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the wall or ceiling.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to
5. Cut the mounting hole using a keyhole or drywall saw, and run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the amplifier location.
• Consult local building codes before running speaker wires through ceilings.

2.Run speaker wire from each speaker to the amplifier location.
3.Strip ¼” – ½” of insulation from each speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands. (Stray strands that touch each other
can cause a
