or ceiling installation. The location you choose will affect the procedure for installing them.
Consider the options below, then follow the instructions that apply to your choices:
• How you will use the speakers?
• for stereo sound at the front of a room or seating arrangement, or
• as home theater front speakers or surround sound rear speakers
• What surface will you install them in?
• an interior wall (abutting another room), or exterior wall (abutting outside), or ceiling
• in finished (plaster and lath or wallboard), or new construction

Three tips for determining speaker placement

1. The template can be placed against a wall or ceiling to help determine the amount of
space the speaker will need. Each speaker enclosure extends into the wall or ceiling, as
shown in the gray DO NOT CUT area on the template (Figure 4). In a wall, the speaker
may be inserted either up or down and will extend either above or below the grille.
2. Use of a stud finder can help ensure that the speaker hole is at least 4
a stud or joist.
3. All electrical wiring, vents and plumbing pipes located inside the walls must be avoided
(Figure 5 on page 7). Check with a trained professional to learn how to locate and avoid
them.
Note: To prevent problems with condensation in cold climates where a humidifier is used, avoid
inserting the speaker upside-down in an exterior wall.
WARNING: Make sure the spot chosen is safe for cutting. Do not cut through
surfaces that have hazards, such as electrical wiring, conduits or plumbing,
concealed behind them. If you are not sure, consult a professional installer
before you proceed.
