location. This location must be free of obstructions, such as electrical conduits, HVAC ducts, or water lines.

Be sure the mounting surface is between 3/8 and 1 1/4 inches thick, and there is at least a 2 3/4 inch clearance behind the mounting surface and no wall studs or other objects block the back of the speaker.

Remove the round cardboard disc from the template supplied and keep it for later use as a paint mask, if you decide to paint your speakers.

Use the template to mark the position for the mounting hole at the selected location. If you are not certain that no obstruction exists (electrical wiring. plumbing. etc.), you should start by cutting a small hole in the center of your penciled mounting hole with a drywall or keyhole saw, cutting at a 45 degree angle towards the inside of the hole. Cutting a small hole at this angle will make drywall repair much easier. Once you have determined there are no obstructions in your desired mounting location, start cutting the finished hole at a 90 degree angle to the wall/ceiling surface.

Route the speaker wires from your amplifier to your opening. Avoid routing the speaker wire near electrical wires. If you have to run them parallel, make certain to space the speaker wires at least 2 feet from the AC line. Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.

Preparing your OWI Speakers for Mounting

Insert a paper clip into one of the grille openings, then pull upwards to remove the grille.

Be sure to position the four Mounting Tabs on your OWI speaker inward, then insert the four screws (supplied) from the front of the speaker into the screw opening.
