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.
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
Less than 10 feet
10 to 100 feet
