Installing with an install bracket
1. Determine placement of speakers in
the room.
2. Install the speaker bracket by nailing
or stapling the wings of the speaker
bracket to the studs of the wall or ceiling.
The bracket has a 1/2" lip that should
face into the room. This lip will provide
a guide for the sheetrock installers
to cut the hole for the speaker.
3. Run speaker wire from the audio equipment
location to the speaker bracket. Make sure
you have plenty of wire at the speaker
location to connect to the speaker.
Destination Audio recommends three feet.
4. If you are running wire through studs,
consider using nail guards to protect your
wires from sheetrock nails or screws.

3. Secure the speaker wire to a stud or floor
joist with a twist tie or staple. If you are
using a staple, be careful not to nick or
pierce the wire and leave the wire loose
enough that you can reach into the hole
you will cut into the sheetrock. Make sure
the wire is back far enough that the sheet
rockers blade or router will not cut it. If
you are running your wire through studs,
consider using nail guards to protect your
wires from sheetrock nails or screws.
4. After the sheetrock or finish material has
been installed, use the cutout template that
came in the speaker box to cut a hole in the
sheetrock. Be mindful of the studs or floor
joists as you place the template.
