 8:  

(Optional): Speaker performance can be enhanced by insulating the cavity 

with fiberglass insulation. When installing speakers in a ceiling, it is best to install a 

sheet of fiberglass insulation behind and around the back of the speaker.

9:  

Pull the cable slack through the hole in the ceiling and strip off the outer 

jacket. Strip about ½” of insulation off the ends of the wires. Connect the positive 

wire from the amplifier to the red terminal on the speaker. Connect the negative wire 

to the black terminal on the speaker.

Note:   Make sure the power is turned off on your amplifier or receiver before con-

necting the speakers.

10:  

Remove the speaker grill using provided tool. Place the speaker into the cut-

out in the wall.  See figure D.

11:  

Tighten the dogleg mounting screws evenly until the speaker is flat against 

the ceiling.  If you are using a drill to tighten the screws, be sure to set the drill to its 

lowest torque setting. 

12:  

Make the final adjustments to the pivoting tweeter and reinsert the grill into 

the speaker baffle.

GRILL AND TRIM 
PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Don’t paint speakers while installed. Be sure they 

are removed.

2. Remove the grill and paint seperately with two light 

coats.

3. Using scissors cut out the paint shield template pro-

vided with speakers. Place paint shield over the speak-

er area, so no paint will get on the cone or tweeter. 

Paint the trim using same method as the grill.
