When you’ve decided on the locations for all of the speakers, use the template 

to trace a circle lightly in pencil where the hole should be. (If you don’t have a 

3. Cutting the Hole

In some situations the speakers may look better if the color matched the walls, 

ceiling, or trim in the room. This can be accomplished by painting the grille. The 

grille must be painted with spray paint, and most hardware stores will mix a can 

of paint to match whatever color you need. Before painting, carefully remove the 

thin cloth on the underside of the grille. Lightly spray the front of the grille with the 

paint from a distance, being careful not to plug any of the holes. Diluting the paint 

with paint thinner will lessen the risk of filling any holes. If a hole gets plugged use 

a can of compressed air to open it. Once the paint is dry, put the cloth back on 

the grille.
