1. Remove the paint plug from the speaker.
2. Run speaker wire from each speaker to the amplifier location.
3. Strip ¼” – ½” of insulation from each speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to ensure that
there are no stray strands. (Stray strands that touch each other can cause a short-circuit that can damage your amplifier.)
4. The speaker’s connector posts are spring-loaded. Push the top of each connector post down to open the connector and
insert the exposed wires into the holes in the posts. The 421 SSMR has two sets of connectors, one for the left amplifier
channel and one for the right.
• The speaker’s positive post is labeled with a red dot; the negative post is labeled with a black dot. Double-check that
you connected amplifier “+” to speaker “+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.
5. Make sure all the RotoLock clamps are in the full clockwise position so that they are tucked within the mounting hole’s
border. Insert the speaker into the hole in the wall ( Figure 6). The RotoLock system can accommodate a
maximum wall material thickness of 1¼”.
• The FastMount tabs will
prevent the speaker from
falling out of the mount-
ing hole, allowing the
installer to let go of the
speaker to pick-up tools or
other items (see
Figure 7).
Note: The FastMount
tabs are designed for
one-time use only. If
the speaker is removed
