2-Way In-Wall Speaker System

PREPARING THE LOCATION

Your Optimus 2-Way In-Wall Speaker System features a 61/2-inch driver, ad- justable wide-angle monopole tweet- er, and crossover for rich lows and crisp, clean highs. It can handle 50 watts of amplifier power.

You can mount your speaker almost anywhere, making it ideal for use in a surround-sound system. The speaker mounts flush with the ceiling or wall, and you can paint its frame and grille to match the room’s decor. It is a tasteful addition to any room.

You need these items to mount your speaker:

•Drywall or keyhole saw

•Wire stripper

•Phillips screwdriver

•Pencil

•18- to 20-gauge wire

Note: You can find wire and wire strip- pers at your local RadioShack store.

Be sure the mounting surface is be- tween 1/2 and 11/4 inches thick, and that there is at least 5 inches of clear- ance behind the mounting surface. Al- so, be sure no wall studs or other objects will block the back of the speaker and no AC wiring is near.

Follow these steps to prepare the mounting location.

1.Remove the cardboard mask from inside the supplied template and keep it for later use as a paint mask.

2.Use the template to mark the posi- tion for the mounting hole at the selected location.

3.Cut the mounting hole with a dry- wall or keyhole saw.

PAINTING THE FRAME AND GRILLE

If you choose to paint the frame and grille, remove the grille by carefully in- serting a small screwdriver between the top part of the frame and grille then carefully pulling up on the grille. Then place the cardboard mask over the driver and tweeter before painting.
