1. Remove the plastic paint
shield from the speaker frame. 2. Determine the correct
speaker location.
NOTE: Use the included
template when cutting the
drywall.
≥ 1/2"
≥ 1/2"
≥ 1/2"
3. NOTE: Always allow at
least a 1/2 inch between a
wall stud and the speaker
cutout or the locking tabs
will not be able to swivel
into place. 4. Ensure that the drywall or plywood
board or other appropriate wallboard
is at least 1/2-inch thick and confirm
that the board material is capable of
withstanding the weight of the speaker
you will be installing. Cut the drywall.
5. Connect the speaker
wires to the speaker. 6. Make sure all four locking tabs
are properly positioned against
the locking tab stops that are
located on the speaker frame (see
Figure 5 below). After confirming
this, carefully place the frame
assembly in the wall and confirm
that there is no more than 1/8-inch
play between the frame and the
wall cutout. After positioning the
speaker in the mounting location,
back each screw out one full turn
(turn counterclockwise). 7. Screw down each of the four
Phillips-head screws, alternating
between the four screws. The
locking tabs will swivel into place
and secure the unit to the rear
surface of the wall panel. Hand-
tighten with a nonpowered,
straight-handle regular screw-
driver only. Do not use a socket
wrench, a powered screwdriver,
a drill or any other powered tool.
Confirm that the speaker is firmly
and securely held in place and
that all four locking tabs are firmly
resting against the wall panel. 8. Attach the metal grille
and logo, if desired.
