USER MANUAL • 6 • IN-WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS USING DRYWALL ANCHORS
Figure 6
I/ON can be mounted in drywall using either the supplied wooden
rails (mounting instructions for when using the wooden rails is
located on page 6) or the supplied drywall anchors. The rails are
more appropriate if the drywall is warped.
Note: I/ON can only be mounted in a wall where there are no electrical
wires, pipes, or bracing in the wall.
Mounting I/ON in the wall using drywall anchors
Step 1
Using the information on page 5, select the approximate
position where you want the speakers located. You will also
have to run a pair of speaker wires from the amplifier or
receiver to speaker location. The metal push terminals on
I/ON are compatible with the wires up to #8 AWG.
Step 2
Locate the studs. The best method for doing this is by using
an electronic stud finder. Follow instructions supplied with
the stud finder to locate the center and the edges of the stud
and mark them with a light pencil mark.
Step 3
Position the in-wall mounting template between the studs
so drywall cutout area clears the studs on both sides. If the
cutout interferes with the stud locations you will have to shift
the location of the speaker to clear the studs.
Step 4
Once the template is clear of the studs, tape it to the wall
using masking tape. Using a level, confirm that template is
plumb and level. Readjust if necessary.
Step 5
Using a center punch or nail make an indentation in the

template at the centers of the six anchor locations. Make the
indentations deep enough so you can easily find them when
you take off the template.
Step 6
Using a drywall saw, cut out the drywall on the inside of the
template marked "cut out inside these lines".
Step 7
Remove the template from the wall
Step 8
Using a #2 Philips screwdriver screw the drywall anchors
into the drywall using the marks you made in step 5 of this
guide.
Step 9
Locate the speaker wire in the wall. To prevent the wire from
falling into the wall cavity, you may want to attach the wire to
the studs using a plastic wire clamp (not supplied).
Step 10 Using the wire strippers, strip approximately 1/2 inch from
each of the wires. Insert the wires in the top or bottom push
terminals observing the proper polarity, where the wire going
to the red terminal I/ON goes to the positive terminal on the
amplifier which is normally the red terminal.
Step 11 Carefully slide the I/ON into the opening and secure it to the
drywall anchors using six - #8 X 1-3/4" sheet metal screws
with #8 flat washers.
