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.
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.
