1. Remove the grille from the speaker, if applicable. Use the clamp (dog-ear)
to push the grille out from the back side.
2. The speakers have a location (the Russound Logo) that can be drilled out
for placement of an remote IR receiver (ex. Russound 862 Eye). Refer to the
detail below. Drill from the rear of the baffle , not from the front.

3. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals:
• Leave about 1' (30.5 cm) of wire extending through the cutout.
• Pull the conductors apart so the last two inches are separated and
remove 1/2" (1.3 cm) of insulation from the end of each conductor.
• Twist the strands in each conductor into tight spirals.
• Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals.
Connect the Positive (+) conductor to the Red terminal and the Negative
(-) conductor to the Black terminal. Make sure that no stray strands of
wire are touching the other conductor or terminal.
