INSTALLATION 3. Connect the stripped bare wires to the input terminals of the JBL Control CRV speaker. 4. Set the tap selector switch to the desired 70V/100V tap, or to the THRU position for 4 ohm low-impedance operation. 5. The mounting bracket is designed to trap the flange of the JBL Control CRV speaker by securing the mounting-bracket cap with two screws through the bottom of the mounting bracket. Rest the JBL Control CRV speaker’s rear flange in the mounting bracket, as shown.
INSTALLATION WALL CEILING MOUNTING (Vertical Speaker Orientation) 3. Connect the stripped bare wires to the input terminals of the JBL Control CRV speaker. 4.
