Prepare the wall for inserting the speaker
Figure 22
Making sure the template is
straight
Use care in the steps that follow to ensure satisfaction with the end result.
CAUTION: Now is a good time to reconsider your comfort level with this job. If you have
doubts about cutting into or running cord behind the wall, it's best to stop here. Then you can
contact a professional installer, describe the job, and request a cost estimate before engag-
ing the installer's services.
WARNING: If you believe insulation in a wall may contain asbestos, do not cut into the wall.
Find a different location for installing the speakers instead.
Using the template a second time
You need a carpenter's level, a sharp pencil, and optional tape with the template to com-
plete this step.
1. Position the template carefully over the pilot hole where you want to install one speaker.
For the round-faced speaker, you may want to bend the small tabs on either side of the
main cutout area behind it before positioning the template on the wall or ceiling.
2. Make sure the template is level (Figure 22).
Positioning the round-faced speaker on a ceiling does not require using a level.

4. Make a dotted line, using the slotted holes along the bottom of the WHITE CUT-OUT
AREA portion, for the bottom edge of the hole.
5. Remove the template.
