Installation of the Speaker and Grille for New or Existing Construction
Installing the Speaker
If the grille is already installed, remove it by using a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame (See Figure 13).
1.Separate the speaker end of the
free at least 2” of each conductor.
Figure 1
2.Strip 1/2” of insulation from the end of each conductor. (See Figure 1)
3.To connect the stripped end of one conductor to the black terminal, push down on the black terminal lever. Insert the stripped end of the conductor into the opening. Release the pressure on the lever.
4.Repeat #3 with the other conductor and the red terminal.
5.Connect the opposite ends of these con- ductors to their respective amplifier ter- minals. Pay attention to the markings on the wire. If you are unsure which conductor to insert into which terminal, see the section titled “Speaker Phase” in the owner’s manual.
6.Repeat these instructions for each speaker you are connecting to the ampli- fier.
7.Place the speaker baffle in the frame by inserting the tabs at the base of the speaker baffle into the cor- responding holes in the
frame and pushing the speaker forward until the snaps engage. (See Figure16)
8.IMPORTANT: When installing the speakers in the ceiling, or if the instal- lation is in an earthquake zone, it is rec- ommended that you utilize the enclosed sheet metal screws to secure the baffle to the frame.
a. Locate the dimples on the front baffle. b. Place the
in the dimple and turn it with a screw driver until it cuts through the baffle and anchors securely in the frame.

Speaker Phase
Speaker wire has two conductors. One conductor is attached to the negative
If you make a mistake, one speaker will be playing
1.Stand half way between the two speak- ers.
2.Play some music with the amplifier or radio set to Mono.
3.Listen to the richness of the bass and the loudness of the sound.
4.Turn off the amplifier and reverse the con- nections on one amplifier channel only.
5.Repeat the listening test with the same setting of the volume control. When the sound has a richer bass and is slightly louder the speakers are working together or
