Mounting the IWTS Speakers
NOTE: We always recommend a professional be involved in the installation of IWTS speakers.
The IWTS speaker can be easily mounted in most any standard wall mate- rial,from ½ to 1½ inches thick.Its rotating wall clamps (sometimes called "dog legs") firmly fix it to the wall surface after the proper cutout has been made. Here are some important precautions to take before mounting:
Keep the sides of the actual mounting hole at least ½ inch away from beams or studs to ensure that the clamps have adequate room to rotate. A stud or other obstruction that’s too close will stop them from properly doing their job.

WARNING: Exercise extreme care before making any wall cuts to ensure that you will not cut through any wires, pipes, or other items that may be in the wall. You may sometimes, but not always, be able to determine the approximate location of wires and pipes by looking at the locations of nearby outlets and plumbing. But their location or absence is never an assurance that there is not something within the
