D.

Strip off 3 inches or so of the speaker cable jacket to expose the 
positive and negative insulated wires.  Strip 3/8 to 1/2 inch of 
insulation off of these conductors.

E.

Hold the speaker with one hand, push in the speaker terminal 
connectors and insert wires; remove speaker grill (for in-ceiling leave 
the tweeter grill on).  Be sure to have the positive wire in the RED
terminal and the negative in the BLACK.

NOTE: Wiring both speakers identically as the above instruction states will 

yield speakers that are “in phase”.  If one speaker is wired opposite of
the other, the speakers will be “out of phase” with one another.  
When speakers are “out of phase” they loose most of their bass 
response and have a “canned” type sound.  Make sure every 
installed pair of speakers are correctly phased.

F.

Use one hand to push the speaker into the cut out and the other to 
turn the screws that engage the installation tabs.  Tighten the tabs in 
a cross or X-pattern until “snug”.  Be careful not to over tighten the 
tabs or damage could result (

see Figure 2

).

NOTE: If using a cordless drill/screwdriver, it is suggested that the screws be turned 

until almost tight, then finish tightening via a screwdriver.

G.

After the speaker has been installed, the tweeter can be positioned if desired
(

see Figure 3

).

H.

If installing the In-Wall speaker, the tweeter level can be adjusted by rotating 
the three position selection switch (

see Figure 4

).
