Careful consideration must be given to the speaker location to realize the full frequency range. Ceiling speakers should be spaced 6 to 8 feet (6 feet for 8-foot ceilings and 8 feet for 10-foot ceilings and above) apart but no closer than 2 feet to any adjacent wall. Avoid placing speakers in air return cavities. Some type of protection will be required for the back of the speaker if blown insulation is used ( you can use the carton box where the speaker was packed in)
Do not install speakers in stud cavities containing 120/240V appliances, within 15 -20 inches of dimmer light fixtures, security wiring and other control wiring.
After you have determine the speaker locations We recommend that you use a 16 gauge 2 conductor cable, for attachment to the speakers.
To begin installation of the speakers, first locate the area where the wires are installed. At each location, cut a hole to the dimensions shown for the model being installed (Mounting Dimensions). Cut out templates are included with our ceiling speaker Products. The cutout should be centered in the stud space opening. Prepare the speaker wiring by stripping off approximately 3 inches of the outer jacket (care should be taken so the insulation on the wires inside the jacket are not damaged) also strip approximately 3/8 inch off the ends of the two inside conductors. Twist the ends of the stranded cable so the wires are tight. You are now ready to install the speaker. Remove the front grille from the speaker. (Be careful not to touch the speaker cones in order to prevent any damage). Attach the speaker cable to the speaker by pressing down on the red (+) or black (-) tabs and inserting the red wire in the red terminal and the black wire in the black terminal. Make sure that none of the strands from the black and red wires are touching each other. This can create a short circuit that can damage your electronics. Index the mounting tabs to make sure that all tabs will clear the opening. Insert the speaker in the wall and tighten the tabs with the screws on the front of the grille. Never over tighten the screws. After the speaker is mounted, adjustments to the swivel tweeter (small speaker) can be made by either directing the sound visually or by using a musical source to determine the best sound coverage for the listening area. To position the tweeter, press at the outside edge of the tweeter cone area . Reinstall the grill on the speaker.
