Make a cutout for the speaker using the supplied template. Allow space for
the bezel if installing near adjacent objects, or cut the hole in two steps as
shown below.
1. Cut the drywall at a 45° angle so that if the speaker is too close to
an obstruction, you can easily 'plug' the hole. This is known as a
"pumpkin cut."
2. If there are no obstructions, cut the drywall again, this time at a
90° angle.
3. Insert the speaker into the cutout.
