Step 1:
Remove the grille from the
speaker frame by pulling on
the paper tab. If he 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 6:
Place the frame assembly in
the wall.
Step 5:

Phillips head screws. The
locking tabs will swivel into
place and secure the unit
to the rear surface of the
