MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS: 
1)  Determine where you want to mount your speaker and then find the closest stud. 
2)  Place the speaker on the wall centered over the stud. If this location is not 
acceptable use wall anchors to wall mount the speaker where there is no stud. 
For Vertical Orientation: Make a small mark on the wall at the bottom center of the 
speaker. 
For Horizontal Orientation: Make a small mark on the wall at the top center of the 
speaker. 
3)  Remove the speaker from the wall and place the appropriate wall mount bracket: 
For Vertical Orientation: so that the mark on the wall lines up with the bottom 
center of the bracket.   
For Horizontal Orientation: so that the mark on the wall lines up with the top center 
of the bracket.  
 
4)  Orient the bracket so that it is level. Mark on the wall the locations for the bracket’s 
mounting screws.  Remove the mounting bracket from the wall. 
5)  Using a drill with a 1/8" bit, drill a 2" deep pilot hole at each of the mounting 
screwhole marks on the wall.   
6)  Place the bracket back on the wall lining up the screw holes of the bracket with 
the pilot holes on the wall. For horizontal installations you should use wall 
anchors for the mounting screws not attached to a stud.  For vertical installations 
be  sure to orient the bracket with the  large  ‘stop’ indentations at  the bottom.  
Screw the included mounting screws fully into the pilot holes.  The bracket should 
now be securely attached to the wall.   
 
7)  Attach your speaker wires to the speaker, being sure to observe proper polarity 
(amplifier speaker output positive (+) to the red terminal, amplifier speaker output 
negative (-) to the black terminal). 
8)  Holding the speaker carefully above the bracket, lower it slowly until the bracket is 
fully inserted into the groove on the back of the cabinet.

After completing all connections, turn the system on, then GRADUALLY increase the 
volume level.  If there is no sound, distorted sound, or if the amplifier shuts itself down 
after a few seconds, IMMEDIATELY TURN THE VOLUME DOWN and turn the system 
off.  Then re-check your wiring for accuracy and for possible shorts at the connecting 
terminals (adjacent bare wires touching each other).  When everything sounds fine, 
keep the volume reasonably low while you familiarize yourself with your system's 
various controls and operations modes.
