Installing the Faceplate
While installing the faceplate, we recommend that an assistant help hold the faceplate. Be
careful working with the assembly that you don’t damage any of the speaker components.
If the 3” soft dome midrange gets dented in, you can work it back out with your fingertips or
use a vacuum cleaner to suck it out.
1. Hold the speaker faceplate up to the wall opening and attach the speaker wire to the
terminal block on the back of the faceplate, observing the proper polarity. To make the
connections to the terminal block, solder or crimp with high pressure the insulated fork
terminals provided in your parts packet. Soldering is best. For in-wall use make sure the
compensator switch is in the proper position.
2. Position the speaker faceplate over the easy-mount box. Gently move it around from
side to side and up and down until the rubber gasket slides around the faceplate mounting
inserts. Screw in the faceplate mounting bolts, gently tightening each one a little at a time,
until the faceplate is approximately 1/32” from the drywall all around. DO NOT TIGHTEN
THE BOLTS ANY FURTHER. The faceplate should not contact the drywall. This avoids any
vibration or distortion of the drywall.
3. Install the grille mounting flanges that came in the parts packet using the grille mounting
flange driver. Any shims that were removed should be replaced back under the grille
mounting flanges to make them level with the faceplate. The grille mounting flanges should
be used even if the grilles are not, as this gives the loudspeakers a finished appearance.
4. Attach the cloth grille by carefully pressing it into the grille mounting flanges.
Connecting to an Amplifier
1. Be sure the amplifier is turned off to avoid damage to the speakers.
2. Connect the speaker wires to the speaker outputs on your amplifier. Observe proper
polartity (red to red and black to black).
3. Make sure each speaker is connected to the correct amplifier output (e.g. left front
loudspeaker to left front output).
