Inst allation of Speak er s IMPORTANT: Before you cut into any wall, review the sections on running wire and speaker placement. 1 . Drill a 1 /8” pilot hole just barely through the wallboard or dry .
5. Fill the wall cavity with insulation at this point. Remember to use equal amounts of insulation for each speaker. Installing the Speaker If the grille is already installed, remove it by using a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the frame (See Figure 12) .
Speaker Phase Speaker wire has two conductors. One conductor is attached to the negative (-) terminals and one conductor is attached to the positive (+) terminals of both your speaker and your amplifier. Usually , the wire is marked for your convenience.
Oper ation Listening at Higher Volumes It requires more power to achieve a rea- sonable volume of sound in a large room than it does in a small room. It is possi- ble (even if you are not a teenager) to turn the volume so high that the amplifi- er runs out of power .
