into the ceiling. Position the speaker into the hole. Note: The flange of the speaker is designed
to flex and conform to any small imperfections in the ceiling’s surface. Tighten the four screws
on the front of the baffle only enough to make the flange become snug against the ceiling. As
you tighten the screws, the feet will automatically flip into an outward position

PAINTING THE SPEAKERS
If you plan to paint your speakers, we recommend that it be done prior to installation. If
you plan to paint your speakers sometime in the future, it is best to remove them by simply
reversing the steps for “SPEAKER INSTALLATION” on page 2. If it is necessary to paint the speakers
while they are still in the ceiling, the paint masks provided in the carton must be installed in place
of the grille while the flange is being painted with the ceiling. The grilles can also be painted,
however, great care should be taken not to clog the holes, as this will greatly reduce the sound
quality of the speakers. Before painting the grilles, remove the under grille material. Put this mate-
rial back into place once the grille has been painted. SpeakerCraft recommends only light spray
painting, using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Do not paint the grilles while they are
attached to the speaker. If it is necessary to paint the under grille material, follow the same
procedure used to paint the grilles.

metal enclosures mount easily between joists, and contain a standard electrical type connector for connections of your speaker cable directly
