Cutting mounting holes

Cut the mounting hole (Figure 6).
• The hole for a FreeSpace
• The hole for a FreeSpace Model 32 loudspeaker should be 7
Note: Check for electrical conduits and other hazards before cutting the mounting
hole. Also avoid glass fiber insulation. Insulation can interfere with the mounting
springs, making installation or changing tap settings difficult. It can also compress
and push the loudspeaker out of the mounting hole after installation.
