C  Tips From the Pros for Do-It-Yourselfers

 

     

a. To run a speaker wire into a wall and out another hole at the bottom, 

insert a 

fi

ne steel chain in the top hole that is the length needed to reach 

the junction box. Use a magnet at the junction box to locate the steel 
chain. 

Th

e steel chain will be used to pull the speaker wires through the 

wall. 

b. In some cases, it is not practical to route the wires in the wall. A hide-a-

cord channel can be used to route the motor wires on the wall down to the 
lower frame. When the speakers are closed, the hide-a-cord strip is not 
visible. From the bottom frame to the baseboard, the easiest options are 

fl

at speaker wire which can be painted or hide-a-cord channels. Note, the 

hide-a-cord channels must be low pro

fi

le to allow the MMC 2 to close 

completely. 

c. For the motor and speaker wires to have clearance between the top and 

bottom frames and the wall, it is necessary to route a small groove on the 
back of frames. 

d. A low voltage junction box at the baseboard or a convenient location, is 

highly recommended. 

D  Wall Preparation

 

    

a. Position the hardboard template against the wall approx. 26" from the 

fl

oor 

where the speaker is to be located. Locate the speaker between studs 
whenever possible. Mark the wall using the upper right corner hole of the 
template. Set the template aside. 

b. Drill a 1/4" dia. hole in that location. 

c. Hold the template against the wall and insert a 1/4" dia. dowel in the hole, 

leaving 1/4" exposed. See Fig. 1.
