Please Read This Manual Before You Start Installing Your Speakers.
To be handy, or not to be…
The following pages contain some sound advice, bound to help you get the most out of your
Aperion speakers. You’ll need to decide if you’re really equipped to take this on yourself. Many
do-it-yourselfers have told us, “I couldn’t believe how easy the install was, but running the wire
to the speaker, that took some doing!”
Consider hiring an experienced installer if running the wires seems too difficult or if (like many
of us) you’re uncomfortable cutting holes in your walls without knowing what’s behind them.
Still unsure? You might want to pre-read “Step 2. Cut Holes” and “Step 3. Plan Your Wire Run”.
If at any step in your ownership experience — from installation through adulation — we can
answer a
question or be of assistance, just call us toll free at 888.880.8992 or email
[email protected]. We think you’ll find our reputation for top-notch customer
service well deserved.
