2. Installation

1. Choose a suitable location for the speaker installation, ensuring there is clearance in the ceiling or wall cavity.
2. Using a pencil, trace the outline of the speaker cutout dimension (6.42'' in diameter) on the ceiling or wall.
3. Carefully cut out the traced circle using a drywall saw or utility knife.
4. Run the speaker wire from your audio source to the installation location.
5. Insert the speaker into the cutout hole and ensure it is flush with the surface.
6. Tighten the mounting screws, which will activate the mounting brackets, securing the speaker in place.

3. Speaker Wire Connection

1. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the speaker wire.
2. Insert the bare ends of the speaker wire into the push-style speaker terminals on the back of the speaker, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals match the corresponding wire connections.
3. Connect the other ends of the speaker wire to your audio source, again matching the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.

4. Troubleshooting

• No sound: Check the speaker wire connections, ensuring they are secure and properly connected to the correct terminals. Also, confirm the audio source is turned on and the volume is at an audible level.
• Weak sound: Ensure the speaker is properly installed in the ceiling or wall, as the sound may seem weak before installation. Once installed, the sound should improve.
• Mounting bracket failure: If the mounting brackets fail during installation, try using the remaining brackets to secure the speaker. If the issue persists, consider contacting the manufacturer for a replacement.
