Step 1:
Remove the grille from the
speaker frame by pulling on
the paper tab. If the tab is
missing, to avoid scratching
the grille or baffle you may
unfold a paper clip, insert the
straight end through one of
the holes in the grille, and
gently pull up.
Step 2:
Determine the correct
speaker location.
NOTE: Remove the inner
template, which is the paint
shield, at the perforation.
Use the outer template when
cutting the drywall.
Step 3:
Always allow at least one-
half inch between a wall stud
and the speaker cutout or
the locking tabs will not be
able to swivel into place.
Step 4:
Cut the drywall.
Step 5:
Connect the speaker wires
to the speaker.
Step 6:
Place the frame assembly in
the wall.
Step 7:
Screw down each of the four
Phillips head screws. The
locking tabs will swivel into
place and secure the unit
to the rear surface of the
drywall.
Step 8:
Replace the metal grille.
The speakers feature unique swivel mounts for the tweeters that enable you to aim the very
directional high frequencies toward the listening position, at ear-level height. Before installing
the speaker grille, gently press on the outer edge of the tweeter mount to adjust the position of
the tweeter. The tweeter will not swivel more than 15 degrees in any direction; do not attempt to
force it to move further. You may also rotate the tweeter to orient the JBL logo as desired.
