Note: To position the logo right-side-up if you insert the speaker upside-down, remove the
outer frame from the face of the speaker, rotate it 180˚, then reattach the frame. There are four
speaker frame screws, labeled GRILLE, that hold the frame in place. They should not be con-
fused with the dogleg clamp screws that are labeled WALL (Figure 21). Those screws hold
the dogleg clamps on the frame.

• If you cannot insert the entire length of the wire straight up in an interior wall, and
sweep it from side to side as shown on the template, you need to drill a new pilot hole
elsewhere. Then repeat the preceding steps 3, 4, and 5.

Repairing a pilot hole

If you need to patch the pilot hole, you can fill it with spackle. You may need to let the spackle
dry, then add more until the hole is slightly overfilled. When it is thoroughly dry, sand the area
to bring it back flush with the wall.

Passing the pilot hole test

If you have successfully determined that this location will work for one speaker, test the wall
or ceiling for the second speaker before making any larger holes. Refer to "Drill a pilot hole for
testing the wall space" starting on page 15 and repeat those steps.
If the location for the first speaker is fine, but the second is not, you may want to relocate
both speakers.
Round-faced speakers require additional clearance holes on either side of the main
speaker hole. If you have marked but have not drilled those holes yet, do so when it is clear
you will be installing a speaker in that spot.
