1: CONNECT WIRES
Insert the speaker wires into the
binding posts on the speaker crossover
(or BX back box) noting proper polarity.
For smaller gauge wires, bend the
exposed wire back upon itself prior to
insertion to make better contact with
the binding posts.
Make sure to securely connect the
speaker wires to the speaker binding
posts; jiggle the wires and re-tighten.
4: TESTING
Test each speaker with music or pink
noise from an amplified sound source
at listening volume. Check high/mid/
low frequency drivers of each speaker
and listen for any rattling or vibration.
Now is the time to correct any
potential issues.

INSTALLATION & SOUND TEST
2: SPEAKER MOUNTING
Attach the speaker panel screw
flanges directly to the structural
framing using the provided wallboard
screws in the pre-drilled holes.
Be sure that all of the screws are
installed and that they hold securely
to the framing.
It is important to add screws to
secure the wallboard surrounding the
speaker as well.
Do not use nails.
3: CHECK REGISTRATION
Once the speaker is secured,
recheck that the outer flange of the
speaker is flush with the surrounding
wallboard.
(See page 18)
Place a 4-foot straight edge across
middle of the speaker to verify that the
speaker face protrudes approximately
1/16" (2mm) beyond the wallboard in
each direction.
Check that the speaker is not
warped from strain caused
by uneven framing. A warped
speaker frame will cause the
speaker face to bulge.
