Mounting your OWI Speakers
Determine the best area to mount your OWI speakers. It will be necessary to run your speaker wires to that
location. This location must be free of obstructions, such as electrical conduits, HVAC ducts, or water lines.
Be sure the mounting surface is between 3/8 and 1 1/4 inches thick, and there is at least a 2 3/4 inch clearance
behind the mounting surface and no wall studs or other objects block the back of the speaker.
Remove the round cardboard disc from the template supplied and keep it for later use as a paint mask, if you
decide to paint your speakers.
Use the template to mark the position for the mounting hole at the selected location. If you are not certain that
no obstruction exists (electrical wiring. plumbing. etc.), you should start by cutting a small hole in the center of
your penciled mounting hole with a drywall or keyhole saw, cutting at a 45 degree angle towards the inside of
the hole. Cutting a small hole at this angle will make drywall repair much easier. Once you have determined
there are no obstructions in your desired mounting location, start cutting the finished hole at a 90 degree angle
to the wall/ceiling surface.
Route the speaker wires from your amplifier to your opening. Avoid routing the speaker wire near electrical
wires. If you have to run them parallel, make certain to space the speaker wires at least 2 feet from the AC line.
Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.
Preparing your OWI Speakers for Mounting
Insert a paper clip into one of the grille openings, then pull upwards to remove the grille.
Be sure to position the four Mounting Tabs on your OWI speaker inward, then insert the four screws (supplied)
from the front of the speaker into the screw opening.
