Tools Needed:

Pencil 
Keyhole or Drywall saw 
Phillips screwdriver 
Small level 
Fish tape or a coat hanger 
Wire strippers 
Gloves 
Safety goggles 
Drill 
1” Flat bit (if driving through studs ½” or ½” bit for test hole) 

1: 

Decide where you want to place your speakers. The speakers should be 

separated approximately 6 to 10 feet apart. If possible, the left and right speakers 
should be located the same distance from the listening position. If needed, the 
pivoting tweeter on the VR6 and VR8 can be directed towards the listener for im-
proved sound quality.

2:  

Make sure the place you choose for your in-ceiling speakers is between the 

ceiling joists (preferably centered). Tap the ceiling for a hollow sound or use a stud 
fi nder to locate the studs.

3:  

Trace around the cardboard template for your speaker placement as 

shown in Figure A. Make sure the speakers are even and level.

4:  

Drill a small hole in the center outline you just traced.

5:  

Bend a piece of coat hanger wire. Insert the wire into the hole, then slowly 

rotate to check for any obstructions. If there are any obstructions, patch the hole 
and relocate the speaker. See fi gure B.

6:  

Carefully cut away the outline you traced using a keyhole or drywall saw. 

Then remove the cutout. See fi gure C.

7:  

Run the cable from the speaker outputs of your receiver or amplifi er to 

your speakers. Allow a few extra feet of cable. You may also splice together lengths 
of cable if you have a long distance to cover. Leave enough cable slack to strip the 
conductors and work on the connections. 

Note: If cable is to be run through walls or ceilings, the cable must be UL and CL 
rated for your safety and building code compliance.
