2.Determine the locations for the speakers. (See Placing the Speakers (BDS 800, BDS 700, BDS 400 and BDS 300), on page 10, for more information.) If possible, position the speakers so that the mounting screws (not included; use size #8) can be installed directly into a wall stud. If that is not possible, use optional wall anchors that are rated to support at least 25 lb (11.3kg) and are appropriate for the construction and materials

of your wall. The customer is responsible for the proper selection and use of mounting hardware, available through hardware stores, to wall-mount the speakers properly and safely.

3.Bring the speaker cable through the wall-bracket attachment plate, and mount the attachment plate on the wall in the desired location.

6.Fit the terminal cover onto the bracket as shown in the illustration below, then connect the speaker leads to the terminals on the underside of the speaker.

7.Fit the terminal cover into the opening on the underside of the speaker so that it is flush against the speaker and covers the terminals. Insert the supplied long bracket bolt up through the bottom of the bracket and terminal cover, and screw it into the threaded insert on the underside of the speaker. The bolt should be snug but not so tight as to prevent the speaker from pivoting on the bracket.
