The KS-7800-THX should be installed to either side of the listening position at an equal distance from the listener whenever possible. You may also install them behind the listening position and achieve good results.

Figure 1

THX Ultra2 7.1 surround systems utilize a surround back channel in addition to the traditional side surrounds. When configuring such a system it is suggested to use KL-7800 speakers in the surround back location.

Speaker Installation (for New Construction, skip to step #3)

1.Cut the appropriate size opening in the wall using the tem- plate provided. If the template is not available, cutout dimensions are provided on the Klipsch website, at www.klipsch.com. Sizes listed are minimum. If accuracy of cut cannot be achieved, you may add 1/4" to each dimension. Be careful not to cut through any existing wiring or plumbing. Avoid compromising any fire stops between studs.

2.Run speaker wiring (18 gauge minimum) to the openings. Be sure to comply with all building codes in your area.

3.Attach the wire to the speaker using the wire’s color coding or markings as a guide to maintain proper polarity.

4.Insert the speaker assembly into the opening and attach by tightening the six Phillips screws (see illustration). The frame’s six “dogs” will swivel out and “sandwich” the wall and frame

together as they are tightened. If you use a power tool to tighten these screws, please use a low torque setting. Failure to do so could result in damage to your speaker (Refer to Figure 3)

5.At this point, you may paint the speaker grille before attaching it to the speaker. Klipsch speakers and grilles are designed to accept most types of paint. Use the supplied clear paint shield to protect the speaker baffle and drivers when painting the bezel of the speaker. Care should be taken to avoid excessive paint build- up in the grille perforations. Please remove the scrim material attached to inner surface of the grille by carefully peeling it out prior to painting. Reinstall scrim after the paint on the grille

is dry.

6.Press the grille into place.
