Some Advice

Before we start, please, think twice about hiring a bonafide, professional installer to do this while you consider a fishing adventure with 

some old friends.

Installing heavy objects above you and your loved ones heads is some serious business. There are also numerous decisions concerning 

wiring, control systems, methods, and best practices only a professional will have knowledge of.  Please consult a professional with a 

nice looking truck to install this speaker.  Find an Installer near you by visiting www.nhthifi.com - navigate to the Where to Buy section 

or visit www.cedia.org to find a CEDIA installation professional.

One last word of advice - It is up to you to insure that the installer we just recommended you call actually (NHT referred or not) pos-

sesses sufficient skill, the proper tools, knowledge of local fire and building codes, and a familiarity with the structure of the building 

(especially wall and/or ceiling materials, layouts, electrical and plumbing lines, etc.).  Look for that expensive truck as well.

With the above said, we know there are capable do-it-yourselfers.  If you are one of them and want to install the speaker on your own 

or with the help of an expert friend, read on.  If you have questions or need assistance at any time before, during or after the installa-

tion or about the operation of you new speakers, we’re here to help.  Finally, like our fathers told us, measure twice and cut once.

Next Up, A Paint Warning:

 NHT recommends that you use a capable, professional painter only to paint this speaker and grill (if you 

must).  Latex paint will definitely clog the micro-perforated grill holes and constrict the speaker’s performance capability.  If you don’t
