Page 5: Installation Considerations
Recommended Amplifier Power For satisfactory performance, we recom- mend an amplifier with a power rating of five to fifty watts for the CS525 and CS650. Curiously, most speakers are not damaged by large amplifiers but by small amplifiers.

5/8” deep in most homes) about an inch below the center of your proposed speak- er location (an inch to the side if you are mounting the speaker horizontally). BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THROUGH EXISTING WIRES, PIPES, OR STRUCTURE. - Page 15 6. Carefully fit the grille into its recess so that it is barely in place. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker, pushing the grille in a little bit each time. You should be gentle, the aluminum grille can be easily bent out of shape.
- Page 16 Be careful, or you might make a mistake. If you make a mistake, one speaker will be playing “out-of-phase” with the other speaker. An out-of-phase pair of speakers work against each other and the sound of the two speakers playing together will be lacking in bass and be “phasey”...
