3. Prepare the Site
IMPORTANT! Allow for a 1/4 (6 mm) overlap for the lip of the
speaker support and a minimum clearance of 1/2 (1.3 cm) around
the back of the opening to enable the clamp arms to fully engage.
Refer to the rough-in information. With a pencil, mark the cut
lines onto the finished wall.
Carefully cut out the opening in the finished wall following the
penciled guidelines.
For thin finished wall materials of less than 3/16 (5 mm), shim
around the back of the opening to provide adequate support for
mounting the speaker support.

connection and a 0.110 x 0.020 receptacle for the - connection.
Carefully feed the speaker wire through the support and into the
wall cavity.
Verify the gaskets are in place.
Slide the body of the speaker into the support.
Align the holes of the speaker with the holes in the support.
Secure the speaker with the screws.
Hook the top edge of the cover into the grooves in the top of the
