Figure 5. Positioning the Mounting Plate
NOTE: A speaker wire access hole (seee the figure in step 6) must also be cut in the wall, so mark that hole location now with the mounting plate positioned on the wall while ensuring that the wall stud does not interfere with the wire routing and that the mounting plate hides the access hole.
3.Drill the mounting plate pilot holes and cut the speaker wire access hole, as previously marked.
4.Install the speaker cables into the wall before installing the speaker mounting plate. Leave enough slack in the cable.
