1. Determine the location for the speaker.
2. Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are
no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts, pocket doors
or air returns in the wall cavity that will interfere with
the speaker.
3. Position the included cutout template where the
speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the
wall or ceiling.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole
in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire
into the hole to feel-around for possible obstructions.
4. Cut the mounting hole using tools appropriate for the
construction, and run the speaker wires from the
mounting hole to the amplier location.

1. Strip 1/4” – 1/2” (6mm – 13mm) of insulation from each
