D. If you have not already done
so, run the speaker wires to
the source or local room
volume control.
E. If your speaker will be located in
an outside wall, the wall may
contain some form of insulation.
Fiberglass batting should be left
in place, as it is sonically
desirable and will hold its shape.
Remove blown in-type insulation
from the air space behind the
speaker. Replace it with a pad of
fiberglass batting at least 50%
larger than the cutout in each
direction. Installing fiberglass
batting in the space between the
studs is also recommended, since
it will improve sound quality.
Note: Wear gloves when
handling insulation.
F. Locate the speaker wires and strip
3 / 8 " of insulation from the ends.
The stripped ends can be directly
inserted into the speaker wire
connectors. Note: Speaker cable
has various means of identifying
the two conductors, either by
color, a molded-in stripe, or
markings on the jacket. Be
consistent with all the connec-
tions within the system. On the
Ambiance speaker system, use
the red terminal for “+”, and the
black terminal for “–”.
G. A smooth, flat wall surface will
provide the best air seal and
most secure installation. If you
must install the speakers in a
rough, uneven surface, such as
stucco or brick laminate, use a
strip of foam gasket tape or a
bead of caulk along the back of
the speaker’s mounting flange.
This provides a good air seal for
maximum bass response.
Position the speaker in the
cutout. Using a #1 Phillips
screwdriver, tighten the six
Phillips screws along the edges of
the speaker. The swing arms on
the opposite ends of the screws
will extend and grip the rear of
the mounting surface. Only
moderate force is necessary to
secure the
Ambiance speaker
system to the mounting surface.
Be careful to not over-tighten.
H. Install the speaker grille.
Note: If desired, you may paint
the grille and frame to match the
room decor before installation.
To paint the speaker, do not
install the grille. Instead, place
the paint shield (the center
punch-out section of the template)
in place of the grille to protect the
baffle surface and drivers. Paint the
grille and frame separately, being
careful not to fill in the small holes
in the grille. A fan, or hair dryer on
“cold” setting, can be used to blow
paint out of the out holes in the
grille while the paint is still wet.
After the paint is completely dry,
remove the paint shield. Replace the
grille, being careful not to scratch
the newly painted surfaces. Save the
paint shield for future repainting.
