Speaker Installation
(continued)
4
NOTE:
The frame will overlap the cutting edge by about a 1/2-inch which will
mask any minor cutting inaccuracies.
5. Confirm the speaker easily fits into the hole, without any gaps.
Connecting the Speaker:
6. Pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect the
speaker. Split the two conductors of the speaker wire
apart about 3-inches so they form a “Y”. Using wire
strippers, remove about 1/2-inch of insulation from
each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the
bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a
single unfrayed strand.
The speaker terminals will accommodate any speaker
wire up to 14-gauge. Select an appropriate wire gauge
from the following chart:
18 gauge for up to 50-feet
16 gauge for up to 100-feet
14 gauge for up to 200-feet
NOTE:
When connecting a speaker it is very important
to retain the correct polarity (improper polarity will
cause reduced bass performance and unnatural imaging
effects). To do this, be sure the wire attached to the
positive terminal on the speaker (marked [+] or colored red) connects to the
positive terminal on the amplifier. Similarly, the negative terminal (marked [-] or
colored black) must connect to the negative terminal on the amplifier.
Finishing the Installation
7. Slide the speaker into the pre-cut hole in drywall or new construction bracket
keeping the speaker cable above and out of the way to prevent pinching it.
8. Tighten the screws. The dog legs will automatically swing out and tighten
(pinch) themselves against the new construction bracket or the drywall with
the turning of the screws and will hold the speaker solidly in place. Don’t over
tighten screws, if you over-tighten the screws the speaker frame may bend which
will make it difficult to properly install the grille.
NOTE: If using a drill/driver, set the clutch to a low setting to prevent over
tightening and possible damage to the frame or dog legs. If using hand tools,
tighten just until firm.
9. If the speaker has any tone controls or has a pivoting tweeter, leave the grille off
until you can listen to the speaker. Once the speaker is adjusted, install the grille.
NOTE: Handle the grille carefully, as they pressure-fit into the installed speaker.
If the grille does not install easily, try loosening the mounting screws before
resorting to forcing the grille onto the speaker.
