2.Locate the hole template and remove the inside portion of it. Save this part—it may be used as a paint mask. Use the inside of the template to trace the outlines at the desired location on the ceiling or wall. With a keyhole saw, cut along the penciled lines.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT THROUGH ANY EXISTING WIRING.

3.Attach the speaker wires to the speaker. Be sure that proper phasing is observed.

4.There are four clamps which hold each speaker in place. The clamps are tight- ened via four front-baffle screws. To install the speaker, first rotate the clamps inward. Insert the speaker into the cutout and tighten the clamps by turning the

screws clockwise. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THESE SCREWS. Over-tight- ening the clamps may make the grille dif- ficult to install. (See Figure 2).

NOTE: The screws will be easier to turn if you “prime” them first. Before installing each speaker, turn the screws in and then turn them back out to their original positions.

5.Install the grille into the speaker. The grilles fit tightly. This is to prevent each grille from becoming loose over time. Some effort and care is required when installing them.

6.Repeat this procedure for the next speaker.

The CM650BG may be painted. The plastic will readily accept most any kind of paint.

The speakers must be masked prior to painting them. The inside portion of the hole template can be used as a paint mask. Remove the outside portion of the template by gently pulling along the per- foration. Affix the mask to the front of the speaker using a piece of tape.

Fold the tape onto itself to form a double- sided loop. Affix the tape to the tweeter and place the mask onto the speaker.

The grilles should be painted before they are installed. The best results will be obtained by using a spray gun or airless sprayer, thinning the paint (prevents clog- ging of grille holes) and by applying sev- eral light coats instead of one heavy one.
