2-Way In-Wall Speaker System
Your RadioShack 2-Way In-Wall Speaker
System features a 6
1
/
2
-inch driver, adjustable
wide-angle monopole tweeter, and crossover
for rich lows and crisp, clean highs. It can
handle 50W of amplifier power. You can
mount your speaker almost anywhere, mak-
ing it ideal for use in a surround-sound sys-
tem. The speaker mounts flush with the
ceiling or wall, and you can paint its frame
and grille to match the room’s decor.
You need these items (not supplied) to
mount your speaker:
• drywall or keyhole saw
• wire stripper
• Phillips screwdriver
• pencil
• 18- to 20-gauge speaker wire
Note: We recommend using speaker wire
that is rated as safe for in-wall use, available
at your local RadioShack store.
PREPARING THE LOCATION
Be sure the mounting surface:
• is between
1
/
2
and 1
1
/
4
inches thick
• has at least 5 inches of clearance
behind the mounting surface
• has no wall studs or other objects that
will block the back of the speaker
• does not have AC wiring near the
mounting area
Remove the cardboard mask from inside the
supplied cardboard template and keep it for
later use as a paint mask for the driver and
tweeter.
Use the cardboard template to mark the po-
sition for the mounting hole at the selected
location. Then carefully cut out the mounting
hole using a drywall or keyhole saw.
PAINTING THE FRAME AND
GRILLE
If you choose to paint the frame and grille,
follow these steps.
1. Remove the grille by carefully inserting a
small screwdriver between the top part
of the frame and grille then carefully
pulling up on the grille.
2. Cover the driver and tweeter with the
supplied cardboard mask then paint the
frame.
Caution: Be careful not to get paint on
the speaker elements.
3. Paint the grille.
Note: We recommend spray painting
the grille to prevent blocking the grille
holes with paint.
4. After the paint completely dries, remove
the cardboard mask.
5. Replace the grille after you mount the
speaker.
Note: Before mounting the speaker,
connect and test it. See “Connecting the
Speaker Wire” on Page 2.
