Removing and Installing the Grille
Remove the grille from the speaker using an awl or the point of a drywall
screw in a grille opening near one of the grille corners. Slowly pry the grille
out, being careful not to damage the speaker’s frame or its finish.
To re-install the grille later, press it carefully into the appropriate opening in
the frame assembly. Since it’s designed to fit snugly, please take your time
and use care when installing the grille.
Cutting the Opening
After determining the best location for the speaker as outlined above, use
the enclosed template to cut the proper size hole.

WARNING:
Exercise extreme care before making any wall cuts to
ensure that you will not cut through any wires, pipes, or other items
that may be in the wall. You may sometimes, but not always, be able
to determine the approximate location of wires and pipes by looking
at the locations of nearby outlets and plumbing. But their location or
absence is never an assurance that there is not something within the
wall cavity.

Mounting the IWTS-4 Speaker
NOTE:
We always recommend a professional be involved in the
installation of IWTS-4 speakers.
The IWTS-4 speaker can be easily mounted in most any standard wall
material, from ½ to 1½ inches thick. Its rotating wall clamps (sometimes
called "dog legs") firmly fix it to the wall surface after the proper cutout has
been made. Here are some important precautions to take before mount-
ing:
Keep the sides of the actual mounting hole at least ½ inch away from
beams or studs to ensure that the clamps have adequate room to rotate.
A stud or other obstruction that’s too close will stop them from properly
doing their job.
Installation of the IWTS-4 in New
Construction
Atlantic Technology offers an optional Rough-in Frame Kit (IN-NC-4) to
ease installation in new construction. Instructions for its use are included
with that kit.
