PAINTING THE SPEAKER
FRAME AND GRILLE
JBL HTI Series loudspeakers
can be painted to match any
décor. If you wish to change
their color, the satin finish on
the grille and frame will func-
tion as a primer coat. Before
painting, install the plastic paint
shield securely into the recess
in the baffle. This will protect
the speaker components and
baffle from paint residue. Use a high-quality spray paint,
and apply a thin coat of color.
Paint the grille separately from
the baffle before installing it.
Be certain the grille per-
forations remain free of paint.
Filling them with paint will
diminish the sound quality.
6. Screw the L-brackets into
the studs.
7. Remove the wood centering
bars and replace the flat-
head screws into the holes
left over (the holes left in the
cabinet face underneath the
bars are also counterbored
to accept the flat-head
screws).
8. The enclosure is now in-
stalled and ready for the
wallboard to be installed
over it.
9. Make the connections from
your receiver/amplifier to the
HTI88 back box connections
panel, and to any other
speakers as appropriate for
your system, following the
instructions on pages 4–7.
Connect the eight wires
hanging from the bottom of
the HTI88BB back box to the
correct terminals on the
HTI88 loudspeaker. See
pages 6–7.
