SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Once you have made a decision on where to install your speakers and have verified
that the location is safe, you will need the following tools to complete the installation
• Stud Finder • Drill & Drill Bits • Wire Cutter/Strippers
• Speaker Wire • Pencil • Phillips Screwdriver
Use only multi stranded, copper, 16 gauge minimum, speaker wire approved for use
within walls and for outdoor exposure. Consult with your local building department for
approved wire types and wiring methods.
Find a location with proper support and use the included mounting bracket or the
additional ¼-20 mounting inserts found on the back of the speaker if you want to use
your own aftermarket mount.
Route approved speaker wire from your amplifier, or from a volume control, to the
speaker locations.
Wire polarity is key here. You must ma positive, usually
red, and
– negative, usually black, polarity between the source and the speakers.
Double check your work.
After completing all connections make sure the amp, volume
controls and speakers are connected and working properly. Turn on the amplifier and
audio source to verify it is producing sound at lower volumes. Slowly turn up the
volume. You should hear sound coming from your new speakers. If no sound is
produced from any or all speakers, turn off the source equipment immediately and
check for open or loose connections, shorts, or proper source selection and
connections. After you have verified they are operating normally, your speakers are
ready to mount.
