To install the Monoprice 104104 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the location: Ensure that the mounting surface is between 3/8" (9.5mm) and 1 1/4" (31mm) thick, with at least a 2 3/4" (69mm) clearance behind the mounting surface. Use the supplied template to mark the cutout hole size and location on the ceiling. Use a drywall or keyhole saw to cut the hole.
2. Prepare the speaker: If you choose to paint the frame and grille, paint them and let them dry before connecting the speaker wire or mounting the speaker. To remove the grille for painting, insert a paper clip into one of the grille openings and pull up, or twist the plastic frame back and forth until the grille edge becomes exposed. Carefully remove the dust cloth from behind the grill and replace it after painting. Insert the supplied cardboard paint mask to prevent paint from entering the speaker. After the paint is dry, remove the paint mask and replace the grille.
3. Connect the speaker wires: Route the speaker wire from the receiver to the speaker. Strip about 1/2" (6mm) of insulation from each wire end. Connect the marked wire to the red speaker terminal and the unmarked wire to the black terminal. Connect the marked wire from the speaker to the left channel of the receiver's positive terminal, and connect the unmarked wire to the left channel of the amplifier's negative terminal.
4. Mount the speaker: Remove the grille to expose the mounting screws. Ensure that the mounting tabs are turned in, allowing the speaker to fit into the hole. Insert the speaker into the mounting hole and use the four screws to tighten the mounting tabs to the wall or ceiling. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws. Replace the grille.
Note: Do not paint the speaker element. Avoid routing the speaker wire near electrical wires. Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.
