Once it has been determined that there are no obstructions, 
cut the hole to mount the speaker using the drywall saw at 
a 90 degree angle to the wall surface. Cover the raw edges 
of the wallboard with masking tape (see Fig. 3). This will 
prevent the back pressure of the speaker from blowing loose 
gypsum dust out and on to the painted wall surface after 
installation. Do not allow the tape to extend more than 1/2” 
beyond the edge of the hole into the room. The frame of the 
AS8SW will cover and hide the tape.
Next, run your speaker wire to your speaker locations. A UL 
rated, CL3 speaker wire, is recommended when running 
wire inside your walls (such as Phoenix Gold Innovative 
Home SS162W*). In many areas it may be required by code. 
When running your speaker wire you should avoid having 
the speaker wire run parallel to the 110V power lines to avoid 
picking up hum and interference from the power service. 
If the speaker wire needs to cross a 110V power line do it 
at a right angle, this is acceptable and should not create a 
problem.
If you are uncomfortable with running the speaker wire 
yourself in existing construction, it is recommended that 
you retain a qualifi ed custom home installation specialist or 
electrician.
*Available in 3 convenient lengths: 50’ mini-spool 
(M1650W), 100’ mini-spool (M16100W), and 250’ bulk spool 
(SS162W/250).
Installing the Subwoofer
Installation Tip! To further enhance the performance of your 
AS8SW speakers, the wall stud cavity where you plan to 
place your speakers can be stuffed with a generous quantity 
of fi berglass insulation. If uninsulated, stuff the area above 
and under the speaker opening with 6” thick insulation to a 
depth of approximately 2 feet beginning 1 foot above and 
1 foot below the speaker opening. If the insulation is foil 
or paper backed, face the backing away from the AS8SW 
speaker. The addition of this insulation will help prevent the 
unwanted transfer of sound into the large and resonant cav-
ity of the uninsulated wall. 
It is now time to connect the speaker wire to 
the AS8SW. Your speaker wire is usually cod-
ed to maintain proper system phasing. This 
can be by color coding, or one conductor may 
have a printed marking or at least a rib along 
one edge that will not be found on the other. 
Identify which type of polarity coding that your 
wire is using. You must carefully observe that 
the positive terminal of the speaker output 
on your amplifi er is connected to the positive 
terminal of the AS8SW speaker. Likewise, the 
negative terminal of the amplifi er’s speaker 
output should be connected to the negative 
terminal of the AS8SW speaker (Fig. 4).
Next, make sure that the doglegs are positioned 
inside the frame of the speaker (Fig. 5).
With the grill removed, place the speaker in the 
wall opening. Make sure that the speaker wire 
is not hanging against the speaker where it can 
vibrate and rattle as the speaker reproduces your 
music.
Next, one at a time, turn each of the four screws 
(Fig. 6) that operate the doglegs counter clockwise 
a few turns until you feel the dogleg is loose from 
its resting position. Now turn the screw clockwise 
until you feel the dogleg contact the wall surface.
Tighten all four of the mounting 
screws in the same manner 
until the speaker is properly 
aligned and held securley to the 
wall surface.
Caution: Do not over tighten!
