•Horizontal wire runs should be routed through holes drilled at equal heights in the studs.

•Do not install the actual speaker until the wall board is in place. Until then leave several feet of wire secured to the back of the mounting ring. The excess wire can be removed during

final installation.

During the drywall installation, make sure the speaker cut-out hole does not extend farther than 1/4 inch from the inside of the mounting ring. The flat rough-in rings and flaps are thin enough that they won’t interfere with installation.

Step 2. After you have determined the speaker locations using the guidelines above, secure a 16 gauge 2 conductor cable to the mounting ring

Run the other end of the speaker cable to the audio source.

installed.

Step 3. This is the finish-out stage. Prepare the speaker wiring by stripping off approximately 3 inches of the outer jacket (care should be taken so the insulation on the wires inside the jacket are not damaged) also strip approximately 3/8 inch off the ends of the two inside conductors. Twist the ends of the stranded cable so the wires are tight.

Step 4. Follow the instructions included with the volume control and amplifier.

Step 5. You are now ready to install the frame. Remove the paint mask. Be careful not to touch the speaker cones and tweeters when removing the paint mask in order to prevent any damage. Remove the baffle from the frame and fasten the frame to the pre-construction bracket. Attach the speaker cable to the speaker by pressing down on the red (+) or black (-) gold- plated push terminals and inserting the red wire in the red terminal and the black wire in the black terminal. See figure 10. Make sure that none of the strands from the black and red wires are
