Cut the drywall.
Note: Always allow at least
one-half inch between a wall
stud and the speaker cutout or
the locking tabs will not be able
to swivel into place.
Connect the speaker wires to
the speaker. Place the frame assembly in
the wall. Screw down each of the three
Phillips head screws. The lock-
ing tabs will swivel into place
and secure the unit to the rear
surface of the drywall.
Replace the metal grille.
Determine the correct speaker
location.
Note: Remove the inner tem-
plate, which is the paint shield,
at the perforation. Use the
outer template when cutting

The HTI speakers feature
unique swivel mounts for the
tweeters that enable you to aim
the very directional high
frequencies toward the
listening position, at ear-level
height. Before installing the
speaker grille, gently press on
the outer edge of the tweeter
mount to adjust the position of
the tweeter.
The tweeter will not swivel
more than 15 degrees in any
direction; do not attempt to
force it to move further. You
may also rotate the tweeter to
orient the JBL logo as desired.
