7. Installation

STEP 1

Using a stud finder (available at low cost at most hardware stores) or other accurate method, locate center point between two joists and mark. Using template provided, trace hole pattern on surface of ceiling.

STEP 3

Run loudspeaker wire to sound source location. There are several methods you can use to accomplish wiring, depending on the construction characteristics of the room or house. You can add a professional touch to your installation by using a speaker terminal plate at the source location. Leave sufficient amount of wire at speaker location (8-10 inches / 20-25 cm) to complete connection.

STEP 4

Attach loud speaker wire to speaker terminals observing correct polarity and position speaker frame up into cutout. Be careful not pinch wires in the process.

STEP 6

After the speaker panel is secured tightly, test sound. When you are satisfied the speaker is operational, then affix grill. As grill is designed for a snug fit you'll need to position one edge into slot first and press or squeeze around perimeter of grill, while pushing leading edges into grill slot.
