INSTALLATION
For convenient installation, these Snell AMC series speaker systems use a dog-leg mounting sys-
tem (see illustrations below). This provides a quick and clean install. Furthermore, the dog-legs
can be removed if a particular situation requires the speaker to be directly attached to a stud.
1) Make an appropriate size speaker mounting cutout in the wall material.
2) Run the wire from the amplifier to the cutout. Allow an extra foot of wire at the cutout.
Strip 1/2” (12mm) off the wire, and tightly twist the wire strands together.
3) Remove the speaker grille.
4) Insert the speaker wires into the spring
terminal binding posts.
Important: Typically, one side of the wire is
smooth. Connect this side to the – (black)
speaker terminal. The other side has a rib or
stripe. Connect this to the + (red) speaker
terminal. Connect wire at the amplifier in
the same way. Failure to do so will result in
degraded sound.
Warning! To prevent electrical shock, always
switch off the amplifier or receiver when
making connections to the speaker system.
5) Place the speaker into the rough opening.
6) Level the speaker and tighten the screws, being careful not to over tighten them. See dia-
gram below for details.
7) Replace the speaker grille.
Turn the mounting clamps against the enclosure, then place the
speaker in the mounting hole. Use a phillips head screwdriver to deploy
the mounting clamps and pull them against the back of the drywall.
