The Leviton Home Theater Wallplate provides a convenient
method of terminating in-wall speaker wires to installed speakers
and cables from amplifier speaker outputs. The wallplate also
provides for the connection of up to two subwoofers and has two
QuickPorts that can be used for any of the full line of QuickPort
jacks.
TO PREWIRE:
1. Install a three-gang low-voltage ring at amplifier location and
a single-gang low-voltage ring at each speaker location (if
speaker bracket requires it).
2. Run a minimum of 16/2 Class 3 speaker wire from Home
Theater Wallplate location to each satellite speaker.
Minimum Gauge Lengths are as follows:

WIRE LENGTH

Up to 50 feet (15 m)
50-150 feet (15-45 m)
Over 150 feet (45 m)
NOTE: The smaller the wire gauge number is, the thicker the
wire is.
3. Run a RG6 quad shielded coax cable from the Home Theater
Wallplate location to each subwoofer location.
TO TRIM-OUT:
1. Connect each speaker cable to the screw terminal connector
on the back of the Home Theater Wallplate that corresponds
to the speaker's location in the room.
2. Terminate the end of the coax cable at the Home Theater
Wallplate with a Leviton RCA compression connector (p/n
40985-CR*) and plug it into one of the RCA connectors in the
wallplate.
3. At subwoofer location, use a single port QuickPort wallplate
(p/n 40701-BW) and a compression RCA QuickPort Jack
(p/n 40782-REW) to complete connection for subwoofer.
