Speaker Placement
(continued)
Pre-wiring the Speaker
1. Determine the location of the speakers.
2. Run speaker wire from the audio equipment location to the speaker location. Make
sure you have plenty of wire at the speaker location to connect to the speaker, three
feet is recommended.
3. Secure the speaker wire to a framing member with a staple. If you are using a staple, be
careful not to nick or pierce the wire. Make sure the wire is back far enough that the sheet
rocker’s blade or router will not cut it.
4. After the sheetrock or finish material has been installed, use the cutout template that
came in the speaker box to cut a hole in the sheetrock. Leave the wire loose enough that
you can reach into the hole you will cut into the sheetrock. Be mindful of the studs or floor
joists as you place the template.
5. See “Installing the Speaker” section and the wiring diagrams more information.
