L6-IW (In-Wall) and L6-IC (In-Ceiling)
a.
First, prepare the route of the wire.
Depending on your chosen strategy (from those
above), this may mean drilling holes, removing
baseboards and molding, and/or making
channels in wallboard.
b.
Next, run the wire. A “fish tape” can make it
much easier. Leave about two feet of extra wire
to make it easier to connect to your speaker.
c.
NEVER use staples, nails or other metal
objects to secure the speaker wire. A short
could affect your system’s performance, even
damage your electronics. Special insulated
staples are available from your hardware store.
d.
Note the markings on your wire that identifies
each strand. You’ll need this info later to be
sure you connect the speakers properly.
