1. Remove the paint plug from the speaker.
2. Run speaker wire from each speaker to the amplifier location.
3. Strip ¼” – ½” of insulation from each speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin
the exposed wire with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands. (Stray
strands that touch each other can cause a short-circuit that can damage
your amplifier.)
4. The speaker’s connector posts are spring-loaded. Push the top of each
connector post down to open the connector and insert the exposed wires
into the holes in the posts.
• The speaker’s positive post is labeled with a red dot; the negative post is
labeled with a black dot. Double-check that you connected amplifier “+”
to speaker “+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.
5. Make sure all the RotoLock clamps are in the full clockwise position so that
they are tucked within the mounting hole’s border. Insert the speaker into
the hole in the wall (
Figure 9
). The RotoLock system can accommodate a
maximum wall material thickness of 1¼”.
• The FastMount tabs will prevent the speaker from falling out of the
mounting hole, allowing the installer to let go of the speaker to pick-up
tools or other items (
Figure 10
).
Note: The FastMount tabs are designed for one-time use only.
If the speaker is removed from the mounting hole the
FastMount tabs will disconnect and remain inside the wall.
