Ceiling/Wall-Mount Speaker

PREPARING THE LOCATION

You need these items to mount the speaker:

    Drywall or keyhole saw

    Wire stripper

    Phillips screwdriver

    Pencil

    18- to 20-gauge wire

NOTE:  You can find wire and wire strippers at your local Radio Shack
       store.

Be sure the mounting surface is between 3/8 and 1 1/4 inches thick, and
that there are at least 2 3/4 inches of clearance behind the mounting
surface.  Also, be sure no wall studs or other objects block the back of
the speaker.

Follow these steps to prepare the mounting location.

1.  Remove the cardboard pad from inside the supplied template and keep it
    for later use as a paint mask.

2.  Use the template to mark the position for the mounting hole at the
    selected location.

3.  Cut the mounting hole with a drywall or keyhole saw.

PAINTING THE FRAME AND GRILLE

If you choose to paint the frame and grille, remove the grille by inserting
a paper clip or cork screw into one of the grille openings, then pulling up
on the grille.

CAUTION:  Be careful not to get paint on the speaker element.  Place the
          cardboard mask over the driver and tweeter before painting.

We recommend spray painting the grille to prevent blocking the grille
holes with paint.

After the paint dries, remove the paint mask and replace the grille.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKER WIRE

We recommend you use wire that is color-coded or marked on one side.

Follow these steps to connect the speaker to your receiver/amplifier.

1.  Route the speaker wire from your receiver/amplifier to the speaker.

    NOTES:  Avoid routing the speaker wire near electrical wires.

            Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.

2.  Separate about 4 inches of speaker wire at each end.

3.  Using a wire stripper, remove about 1/4 inch of insulation from the
    end of each conductor.  Then twist the strands of each conductor.

4.  Connect the wire to the terminals on the back of the speaker by
    pressing the red terminals tab, inserting one end of the marked
    conductor, then releasing the tab.

    Repeat this procedure to connect the unmarked conductor to the black
    terminal.

5.  Using the wire's color-coding or marking as a guide, connect the
    conductor that is connected to the speaker's red (+) terminal to your
    amplifier/receiver's positive (+) terminal.  Then connect the negative
    (-) conductor to your receiver/amplifier's negative (-) terminal.

MOUNTING THE SPEAKER

1.  Be sure the mounting tabs are in place, then insert the speaker into
    the mounting hole.

2.  Use the four supplied mounting screws to secure the mounting tabs to
    the wall or ceiling.
