3.

 

Remove the foam insert and set it aside. 

4.

 

Insert the paint mask, covering the 
speaker while leaving the frame 
exposed. 

5.

 

Paint the speaker frame and grille. It 
is best to use spray paint to avoid 
paint clogging the holes in the grille. 

6.

 

Allow the paint to completely dry 
before proceeding with installation. 
Ensure that the holes in the grille are not blocked by paint. 
 

INSTALLATION 

Perform the following steps to install the speaker onto a wall composed of drywall. Note 
that the same procedures apply to ceiling installations. The speaker can be mounted to a 
surface that is between 3/8" and 1-1/4" thick, with at least 4" internal clearance. 

1.

 

Determine where you will be installing the speaker. Use a stud finder to ensure that 
there is sufficient space between the desired location and the adjacent studs. Be 
sure and check for horizontal framing members, as well. Use a pencil to mark the 
edges of the adjacent studs. 

2.

 

If you have not already done so, remove the 
center portion of the cardboard installation 
template/paint mask and set it aside. The 
central portion is the paint mask, while the 
outer portion is the installation template. 

3.

 

Position the installation template against the 
wall at the installation location. 

4.

 

Use a carpenter's level to ensure that the 
template is level. 

5.

 

Use a pencil to mark the cut line on the wall.
