Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Sonance Visual Performance Series Speakers. This guide covers the following speaker models: VPXT6 (6” Rectangular), VPXT6R (6” Round), VPXT6R SST (6” Round, Single-Stereo Technology®) and VPXT8R (8” Round).
Before Installation: Retro-fit
1.Determine the location for the speaker.
2.Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts, pocket doors
or air returns in the wall cavity that will interfere with the speaker.
3.Position the included cutout template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the wall or ceiling.
•If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel-around for possible obstructions.
4.Cut the mounting hole using tools appropriate for the construction, and run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the amplifier location.
NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING SPEAKER WIRES THROUGH WALLS.

connector and insert the exposed wires into the holes in the posts (see Figure 1).
3.The speaker’s positive post is labeled with a red dot; the negative post is labeled with a black dot.
•The VPXT6R SST has two sets of connection terminals, located on opposite sides of the crossover board.
4.After making all connections, double-check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker “+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.
5.Make sure all the Roto-Lock toggle feet are retracted so that they are tucked within the mounting hole’s border.
