OWI AMP3IC6 Installation Instructions Manual page 11

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
Over 100 feet
