    SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Warning! To prevent possible personal injury and/or damage to your equipment, turn off and unplug all equipment before making connections!

    2. You will need to obtain four screws (not included) to mount each bracket to your vertical surface. The screws should have a shaft diameter no larger than 4mm and a head diameter of 5-6mm. 3. If necessary, drill pilot holes for the mounting screws using a drill bit of the appropriate size.
