2) Painting the Grille
In some situations the speakers
may look better if the color
matches the walls, ceiling, or
trim in the room. This can be
accomplished by painting the
grille. The grille must be paint-
ed with spray paint, and most
hardware stores will mix a can
of paint to match whatever col-
or you need.
Before painting, carefully
remove the thin cloth on the
underside of the grille. Lightly
spray the front of the grille
with the paint from a distance,
being careful not to plug any
of the holes. Diluting the paint
with paint thinner will lessen
the risk of filling any holes. If a hole is plugged, use a can of com-
pressed air to open it. Once the paint is dry, put the cloth back on
the grille.
3) Cutting the Hole
When you’ve decided on the locations for all of the speakers,
use the template to trace a circle lightly in pencil where the hole
should be. (If you don’t have a template, check the Specifications
section for cutout sizes.) If you’re unsure on whether there may
be obstacles (such as pipes or wires) where you plan on installing
the speaker, drill a ⅛ inch hole in the center of the circle, then put
a bent coat hanger through the hole to feel around. Use a keyhole
or drywall saw to cut the hole.
