Installation Instructions
Determine speaker location and mark your plans for future
reference.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
STEP 1 After determining the location of the speaker, attach
the mounting flanges to the mounting ring as shown in
Figure 1. Position the mounting ring-flange assembly to
the wall stud as shown. Attach the mounting ring-flange
assembly to the studs using drywall screws or nails.
Once the mounting ring is secured to the wall, the
edges of the mounting bracket will extend from the
studs by approximately 3/8”. This will allow for drywall
construction later.

dry wall as shown in Figure 2.

STEP 2 Run a 16 gauge 4-conductor cable, such as MS164X,
from the volume control to the SUM. Then run one 2 conductor cable such as MS16X, to each left and right
channel speaker. (See Figure 3.) A 16 gauge 4 conductor cable should also be run from the volume
control to the system amplifier. Be sure that you se cure the wire (DO NOT USE STAPLES) and leave
enough wire for the speaker connections. Connect the
wires to the SUM and speakers.

channel on the SUM and the left speaker is connected to the left
channel. Also, make sure the red wire is connected to the
positive terminals on the speaker and the SUM and the black
wire is connected to the negative terminals.
STEP 3 Mount the speaker to the mounting ring with the
screws provided with the speaker. Install the metal grill
insert.
