RETROFIT INSTALLATION AND WIRING

 cont.

Slowly cut along the

outlined mark with a

drywall knife/saw, trying

not to chip out the

drywall excessively.

On the back of the speaker, you’ll

find a spring-loaded wire

terminal.

To keep polarity correct, connect the amplifier’s + (positive) channel to 

speaker’s + (positive) channel and the amplifier’s - (negative) channel to 

the speaker’s - (negative) channel. To avoid shorts, keep stray strands clear 

of adjoining connectors.

For R28DT only

The R28DT has has four binding posts 

for its dual-voice-coil woofer and two 

tweeters. Connect the two left channel 

wires to one pair of binding posts and the 

two right channel wires to the other pair 

of binding posts.
