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, cause the
flange to distort, and make the grill difficult
to install.)
