Existing Construction

1. Drill a hole large enough so that the blade of your cutting tool can be inserted.
2. Drill a hole inside the area drawn with the template.
3. Choose a spot near the centre or close to the outside edge of the drawn area, based on the
location, that will be easier to begin cutting with a cutting tool.
NOTE: Be sure to cut carefully to make the opening as symmetrical as possible. The speaker will
overlap some of the cutting edge, masking any minor cutting issues.
4. Hold the cutting blade perpendicular to the mounting surface. Try to keep the blade as straight
as possible while the opening is cut, to ensure the blade follows the outline.
5. For ceiling installations, insert the tip of the saw or cutting tool into the pilot hole and cut
seventy-five percent around the cutting line.
6. Place one hand under the surface cut out to support it and continue to complete cutting the opening.
7. Remove the cut-out section.
8. Make sure all material and debris are cleaned from the hole. This material can interfere with a proper seal between the speaker and the
mounting surface.
Preparing Speaker Cable Wires
A speaker cable consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked (stripped, collared, or ribbed) to identify it as positive,
while the other wire is negative.
Using the appropriate tools install the speaker cable in the desired locations for the installation. When the
speaker cable is within reach of the speaker opening:
1. Push all insulation and debris from the inside of the speaker opening and ensure blown insulation is at
least 4 to 6 in. (10 to 15 cm) from the surrounding of the opening.
2. Locate and pull at least 14 in. (36 cm) of speaker cable out from the speaker opening.
3. Make sure to allow enough cable to connect the wires to the speaker from a comfortable position.
4. Strip approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm) of insulation from both wires.
5. Twist the bare end of each wire so loose strands will not touch across terminals.

Connecting the Speakers

When connecting speaker wire, be sure to connect each wire to the proper speaker and amplifier/
receiver terminal for correct polarity, positive to positive (+) and negative to negative (-). Ensure both
channels move forward and backward together (in-phase).

Bare Wire Connection

Push the top of the binding post down to line up the two holes. Insert wire through hole, and release binding
post.
NOTE: This connection will accept up to 8-gauge wire.
