Attach the speaker wires to the speaker terminals.

Insert your OWI speaker into the opening and tighten the four screws. As you tighten the screws, the tabs will automatically flip into an outward position thereby clamping the drywall between the feet and the flange of the speaker. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN, OVER TIGHTENING MAY WARP THE BAFFLE, CRACK THE WALL, CAUSE THE FLANGE TO DISTORT AND MAKE THE GRILL DIFFICULT TO INSTALL.

Push the grille firmly into the slot in the speaker baffle.

Painting your OWI Speakers

The speakers' other surfaces are primed to accept ordinary latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint. The surface of the speaker behind the grille should remain black and must not be painted. It is necessary to mask this area with the center of the template that you have cut out.

The grille can be painted as well, but great care must be taken not to clog the holes in the grille as this will greatly reduce the sound quality of the speakers. It is recommended that only light spray painting using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint be used. Do not paint the grilles while they are attached to the speaker.

Proper Wire Gauge Selection

The gauge of wire required is determined by the distance between your amplifier/receiver and the speakers. Use the following chart as a guide:

Length

Minimum Gauge

Less than 10 feet

18 - 20 Gauge

10 to 100 feet

16 to 18 Gauge

Over 100 feet

14 Gauge
