First, check for obstructions behind your
chosen speaker locations. Drill a small hole
in the center of the area you plan to cut out.
Take a piece of coat hanger wire and bend it
at a 90-degree angle — insert it into the small
hole and fi sh around to make sure no pipes,
studs, wires or other objects are hiding there.

Removing the grill:
If you need to remove grills after
installation, the best method is to insert the supplied
tool through a grill-hole near the edge and simply
pull the grill out.
The grills are designed for a very tight press fi t, to minimize any chance of their vibrating or coming loose. To
install, slide each in place slowly, working your way around the edges. If you’ve painted the fl anges, take care
not to scratch the paint. If you fi nd the grills very diffi cult to install it’s probably because the mounting screws
are over-tightened.
