5.
Position the speaker into the hole and start tightening the six screws evenly. This
will allow the I-Beam bars to properly sandwich the drywall between the self
adjusting I-Beam feet and the speaker flange.
(See Figure 9)
Make sure the speaker
is positioned correctly before final tightening of the six mounting screws.
Note:
The
flange of the speaker is designed to flex and conform to imperfections in the wall
surface.
CAUTION: DON’T OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS, PROCEED SLOWLY.
If
the screws are tightened too much, the flange on the speaker may bow out. If this
occurs, back off the tension on the screws until the bowing is eliminated.

pAINTING THE SpEAkERS
If you plan to paint your speakers, we recommend that it be done prior to installation.
If you decide to paint your speakers sometime in the future, it is best to remove them
by simply reversing the steps for
“SPEAKER INSTALLATION” on pages 14-15. When
painting the speakers, the paint masks provided in the carton must be installed in place
of the grille. The grilles can also be painted, however, great care should be taken not
to clog the holes, as this will greatly reduce the sound quality of the speakers. Before
painting the grilles, remove the under grille material. Put this material back into place
once the grille has been painted. SpeakerCraft recommends only light spray painting,
using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Do not paint grilles while they are
attached to the speaker. If it is necessary to paint the under grille material, follow the
same procedure used to paint the grilles.
