- Where is the best place to install the speakers?
- Where do the speakers sound the best?
- Separate the speakers 6 - 10 feet apart.
- If you intend to paint the grilles, do so before installation.
NOTE: This is the most important part of the entire installation.
If you are not certain whether any obstructions exist behind the
desired mounting area, you should start by cutting a small hole in
the center of your penciled mounting hole with a drywall saw.
Trace along the included template. Cut along the traced line using a
drywall saw or rotary drill. Use a piece of sandpaper to sand down the
cut out edge for a smoother contour. (See Diagram 1.)

Mounting
Connection
Tighten the mounting brackets by simply turning the screws on
the front of the speaker baffle slowly clockwise. The quick-turn
mounting system and frame will “sandwich” or clamp around the
dry-wall to hold the speaker securely in place once fully tightened
to the locked position.
(See Diagram 2.)
We recommend using a OSD SMP300 or SMP500 DSP Amplifier.
When connecting any speakers to the amplifier or receiver, always
make sure the power is off. Locate the connection terminals on the
back of your receiver or amplifier. Always make sure to connect au-
dio out from the back of your receiver or amplifier to the speakers.
(See Diagram 3.)
NOTE: Not all Amplifier/Receivers can safely play more than one
pair of speakers at once. Please refer to your owner’s manual for
impedance and wattage compatibility.

drywall or after across joists (from 16

on-center) where a speaker will be mounted.
1. Find the joist nearest the desired speaker mounting location. If you
need to align the speaker to some other object or molding in the room,
be sure to consider the size of the baffle flange which extends beyond
the mounting hole.
2. Line up the bottom of one of the mounting bars with the bottom of
the joist. This will place the screw holes in an “L” position, flush with
the side of the joist, and the mounting ring “lip” will be facing down-
ward. Attach the mounting bar to the joist using appropriate wood
screws.
3. Make sure that the mounting ring is in a perfectly circular shape
(see Diagram 1.) by opening the bracket until the arms come in con-
tact with the stoppers. Then, lineup the bottom of the other mounting
bar with the bottom of the same joist. Attach the mounting bar to the
joist using appropriate wood screws.
4. Extend both mounting bars to reach the opposite joist, then line up
the bottoms of each mounting bar with the bottom of the joist. Attach
the mounting bar to the joist using appropriate wood screws.
5. Adjust the position of the mounting ring between the joists, grab
both sides of the mounting ring, where it connects to the mounting bar,
then move the mounting ring to the desired position.
6. The protruding lip of the mounting ring will force the drywall install-
ers to hang the drywall with an appropriate hole cut out around the
mounting ring lip. After the drywall is hung and finished, the speakers
are then easily installed.
1. Find the joist nearest the desired speaker mounting location.
If you need to align the speaker to some other object or molding
in the room, be sure to consider the size of the baffle flange
which extends beyond the mounting hole.
2. Mark the hole using the speakers cut out template. Position
the template in the desired and pencil an outline on the ceiling.
3. Cut the hole. CAUTION: If you are not certain whether any
obstructions exist behind the mounting area, you should start by
cutting a small hole in the center of the penciled template outline
with a drywall saw, cutting at a 45° angle towards the inside of
the hole. (see Diagram 3.) Cutting a small hole at this angle will
make drywall repair easier if needed. If there are no obstructions
cut the finished hole at a 90° angle to the ceiling surface.
4. Collapse the mounting ring and the mounting bars to com-
press the bracket to it’s smallest shape (see Diagram 2.)
5. With the mounting lip facing downward, insert the bracket into
the ceiling cavity through the speaker cutout hole previously cut
in the drywall.
6. Make sure that the mounting ring is in a perfectly circular
shape by opening the bracket until the arms come in contact
with the stoppers, then set it into the ceiling hole. Push one of
the mounting bars L-shaped edges until it is flush with the joist,
and the bottom of the mounting bar lines up with the bottom of
the joist. Attach the mounting bar to the joist using appropriate
wood screws.
7. Push the other mounting bar L-shaped edge until it is flush
with the same joist, and the bottom of the mounting bar lines up
with the bottom of the joist. Attach the mounting bar to the joist
using appropriate wood screws.
8. Extend both mounting bars to reach the opposite joist, then
line up the bottoms for each mounting bar with the bottom of the
joist. Attach the mounting bar to the joist using appropriate wood
screws.
