5. Using a keyhole or drywall saw, carefully cut the ceiling section you outlined, then remove the
section.
6. Run the wires from the speaker outputs on your audio equipment to your speakers. Allow a few
extra feet of wire so you will have enough wire to easily connect the speaker before mounting it
to the ceiling.
Note: Use high-quality wire such as 16 gauge speaker wire.
7. (Optional) To improve speaker performance, insert unbacked fiberglass insulation behind and
around the speaker.
Warning: To avoid personal injury, wear gloves when inserting the insulation.
8. Pull the wires through the hole in the ceiling. Using wire strippers, strip off the end of the outer
wire jacket, then strip about ½ inch of the insulation from the ends of the wires.
9. Connect the positive wire on your audio equipment to the red terminal on the speaker, then
connect the negative wire on your audio equipment to the black terminal on the speaker.
Warning: Make sure that your audio equipment is turned off before you connect the speaker
wires.
10. Remove the speaker grill by pushing one of the mounting clip screws towards the front of the
speaker, then insert the speaker into the hole in the ceiling.
11. Tighten the screws evenly until the speaker is flat against the ceiling. Caution: If you use a drill to
tighten the screws, make sure that you set the drill to its lowest torque speed. Do not overtighten
screws.
