Packaging and Enclosed Parts
Please inspect your pack for damaged or missing parts. Notify your supplier if any discrepancies occur.
There are four (4) parts in the package: Two (2) main speaker housings and two (2) grilles.
Only simple hand tool s are required for assembly and installation.
Required tools: #2 Phillips screwdriver only , if you have new construction brackets previously installed.
Drywall Hand saw if no New Construction Brackets were installed. A saber saw may be required if you are cutting into plywood.
Painting the Speaker Grille
If grille requires painting , carefully remove the white scrim cloth on the inside of the Grille and save for reinstallation. This cloth is provided for aesthetic
purpose only. Either spray paint the grille or use a stiff stipple paint brush. Do Not clog the perforated holes as this will impede the acoustics of the
speaker.

Using the supplied Trace Template, place the cutout template against the ceiling
and trace along the inside cutout. It is suggested to cut a small pilot hole to
verify no obstructions, such as pipes or beams, that could hinder the install.
Carefully cut out the ceiling material along the circle. A drywall saw is perfect for
this step. Hold a box or trash can under your cutting to catch the debris.
NOTE:
A stud finder may be helpful to locate the ceiling beams. You want to
layout the hole to the side of any beams.

After you have cut your desired hole from the template, locate the speaker wire for that speaker.
Pull enough wire slack down to attach the 2 conductor wire to the gold plated constant tension spring-loaded terminals.
Remove about 2
” of the outer jacket then strip about ½” insulation from each wire and slightly twist the strands to ensure all strands can be inserted into
the hole. Refer to next picture for location of the gold plated constant tension spring-loaded terminals.
Push down on the RED (+) colored Terminal and insert the Red or copper colored conductor all the way up to the insulation into the hole at the bottom of
the terminal. Now release your finger from the terminal . Next do the same to the Black or silver colored conductor and insert into the BLACK (-) colored
Terminal. Make sure there are NO whiskers from the strands that could cause a short. The other end of these wires will be connected to your amplifier or
volume control.
Note:
Sometimes your wire color may be White (+) and Green (-).
You now have a connection with the proper tension for continued operation that will not wiggle out or cause poor connection.
