In-wall speakers
a.
Attach the speaker wire to the
push terminals on back of the speaker.
It’s very important to wire them with
the correct negative/positive polarity.
Be sure
that the wire attached to the positive
terminal (+, red) on the speaker connects to
the positive terminal on receiver. Similarly,
the negative terminal (-, black) on the
speaker must connect to the negative
terminal on the receiver. You can use the
stripe, differing colors or “+++” markings on
one of the wire strands to keep track.
b.
Mount the frame into the hole you just
cut.
c.
Be sure the mounting feet are turned
inward to clear the opening and then insert
the frame into the ceiling or wall. Make sure
the speaker is sitting squarely, then tighten
the six screws on the inside of the frame. As
you tighten these screws, the feet will
automatically flip to an outward position,
clamping the drywall between the feet and
the flange of the frame. If you’re using a
powered screw gun, finish tightening with a
hand screwdriver to avoid over-tightening.
Tighten just enough for the flange to become
snug against the wall. (Over-tightening may
warp the baffle, crack the wall
or
cause the
flange to distort
.
