INSTALLATION
Note: The speakers should be mounted on a flat surface to form a good seal between the
speaker flange and the mounting surface.
1. Make a 7 5 ⁄
8
-inch (194mm) cutout using the
supplied template. It is not necessary to remove
fiberglass insulation that may be behind the wall.
2. Run wire from amplifier to cutout. Allow an
extra foot of wire at the cutout.
3. Remove the speaker grille. Carefully pry up one
side with an awl or small screwdriver.
The AMC650r and AMC680r have heavy-duty spring-loaded push terminals for their input
connections. The terminals will accept wire or pins up to
5 ⁄
32
-inch in diameter.
4. If connecting with bare wire, strip the wire so that
approximately 1 ⁄
2
-inch is exposed. Twist the wire
into a bundle so that there are no stray strands.
Push the end of the terminal to expose the hole in
the side of the terminal. Then insert bare wire into
the hole and release.
5. The insulation of the wire will have a stripe or ribs on one side. Use this marking to ensure
the + (red) terminal of the speaker is connected to the + terminal of the amplifier and the
– terminal of the speaker is connected to the – terminal of the amplifier.
Warning! To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making
connections to the speaker system.
6. Place the speaker in the hole. Rotate the
speaker until the tweeter waveguide is
aimed in the desired direction. Use a
Phillips screwdriver to tighten the four
pivoting mounting arms. Avoid
overtightening, as this could break the
mounting arms or damage the ceiling surface.
7. Install the grille. Press firmly arund the outer edge of the grille
to seat it firmly in place.
