Bose AM267565 manual Repairing a pilot hole, Passing the pilot hole test

Steps to Installing

Note: To position the logo right-side-up if you insert the speaker upside-down, remove the outer frame from the face of the speaker, rotate it 180˚, then reattach the frame. There are four speaker frame screws, labeled GRILLE, that hold the frame in place. They should not be con- fused with the dogleg clamp screws that are labeled WALL (Figure 21). Those screws hold the dogleg clamps on the frame.

•If you cannot insert the entire length of the wire straight up in an interior wall, and sweep it from side to side as shown on the template, you need to drill a new pilot hole elsewhere. Then repeat the preceding steps 3, 4, and 5.

Repairing a pilot hole

If you need to patch the pilot hole, you can fill it with spackle. You may need to let the spackle dry, then add more until the hole is slightly overfilled. When it is thoroughly dry, sand the area to bring it back flush with the wall.

Passing the pilot hole test

If you have successfully determined that this location will work for one speaker, test the wall or ceiling for the second speaker before making any larger holes. Refer to “Drill a pilot hole for testing the wall space” starting on page 15 and repeat those steps.

If the location for the first speaker is fine, but the second is not, you may want to relocate both speakers.

Round-faced speakers require additional clearance holes on either side of the main speaker hole. If you have marked but have not drilled those holes yet, do so when it is clear you will be installing a speaker in that spot.
