IMPORTANT! Before painting remove grill from
speakers. Also remove the cloth scrim attached
inside the grill.
1. Remove the grill from the speaker. A protec-
tive cloth scrim is attached to the back of
the grill with low-tack adhesive. Remove this
scrim by gently pulling it away from the grill.
2. Paint the grill, being careful not to plug the
holes. Allow the paint to completely dry before
proceeding. IMPORTANT! For best results
use a spray rather than a brush or roller.
3. Gently press the scrim back into place before
reinstalling the speaker grill.

obstructions behind drywall. To do
this make a small hole, cutting at a
45° angle (this will make the hole
easier to patch if obstructions are
found. Only cut out the mounting
hole after you have verified there are
no obstructions behind the dry wall.
WARNING! Use only speaker cable
that is rated for in-wall use. The UL
standard is CL2, CL3, and CM. The
CSA standard is FT4. WARNING!
Turn your amplifier off before making
or breaking any signal connections.
