INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this Caliber In-Wall Subwoofer! In-wall speakers are the ideal combination of sound quality and styling. Rather than cluttering the room with large box speakers trailing speaker wires, the speakers are virtually invisible, while filling the room with high fidelity audio. Featuring removable and paintable grilles, this passive subwoofer can handle up to 150 watts (RMS)/300 watts (peak) of power into 8 ohms. It has an 88dB sensitivity and 33 ~ 230 Hz frequency response.

SPEAKER WIRE PREPARATION Before attempting to make any connections it is best to look at the situation, get all the necessary materials together, and then make all the connections at once. First, look at the back of your amplifier or receiver to determine what options it offers for making connections. Amplifiers and receivers typically employ either 5-way binding posts, spring-loaded terminals, or push terminals for the speaker connections.
In many cases, the mark is a single stripe on the jacket of one of the connectors. In this case the side with the stripe is generally considered the positive side, but it really does not matter as long as you are consistent and always using the stripe as positive or always using it as negative. When you are ready to prepare your speaker wire, first separate about 4" of wire, then strip about 1/4" (6mm) insulation from the end and twist it to prevent stray strands.
INSTALLATION Perform the following steps to install the speaker in the wall. 1. Determine where you will be installing the speaker. Use a stud finder to ensure that there is sufficient space between the desired location and the adjacent studs. Be sure and check for horizontal framing members, as well. Use a pencil to mark the edges of the adjacent studs. 2. If you have not already done so, remove the center portion of the cardboard installation template/paint mask and set it aside.
11. If you have not already done so, prepare your speaker wire in accordance with the guidelines in the Speaker Wire Preparation section above. Important! Because the speaker wire will necessarily be routed through your walls, you must use in-wall rated speaker wire. 12. Route your speaker wire from the back of your amplifier, through the wall, to the installation location. 13. Connect the plastic spacers to the metal ring (flat side) by lining up the protruding plastic with the holes on the metal ring.
22. Connect the other end of the speaker wire to your amplifier's speaker terminals, taking care to match the polarity. 23. Plug in and power on your amplifier. Start audio playback and verify that the speaker is operating properly. Congratulations, your speaker is installed and ready for use!
