INSTALLING THE MOUNTING PLATFORM
To install and finish the VX | VXQ Mounting Platform, fol-
low the standard TRUFIG procedure for Gypsum (avail-
able at trufig.com).
WIRING FOR THE SPEAKER
The Mounting Platform has a tie wrap installed on one of
the pierce bridges on the back. (fig. 1)
Use this to attach the speaker wire for retrieval after
installation.
NOTE: It is important to wire from the amp to the
speaker/mounting platform location and reserve the
wiring at the mounting platform BEFORE completing
the mud, sand, and paint for the surface.
INSTALLING THE SPEAKER
Proceed to these steps after the TRUFIG mounting plat-
form has been installed and the wall or ceiling surface
has been mudded, sanded.
1. Locate the screws on the metal sanding shield and
remove them. Use the keyhole to remove the metal
sanding shied, being careful not to remove the plastic
paint shield. (fig. 2)

2. After painting is complete, remove the paint shield from
the mounting platform opening. The paint shield is a
thin, plastic material that is secured around the pe-
rimeter with adhesive, so it should pull away from the
opening easily. The paint shield includes a pre-cut hole
to allow for easy removal using a finger or pointed ob-
ject like a screwdriver. Poke through and pull the paint
shield away from the surface. (fig. 3)
NOTE: The mounting platform opening includes a
small VX spacer ring that is secured around the rim
with adhesive. Removing the paint shield will reveal
the VX spacer ring. The spacer is labeled “VX SPAC-
ER REMOVE FOR VXQ.”
ReseRve oR Remove the vX spaceR Ring
1. When installing Sonance VX speaker models, leave the
spacer ring in place.
2. When installing James VXQ speaker models, this spacer
ring must be removed. (fig. 4)
3. Feel within the surface opening to locate the reserved
speaker wire. Free it from the back of the mounting
platform and pull it through to hang outside of the
opening.
FoR squaRe speakeR installations only:
1. Insert the VX or VXQ round speaker into the VX Square
Adapter
2. Align the square adapter alignment tabs with the slots
on the speaker and press the adapter to the speaker
until they are firmly together (fig. 5). This will allow the
grille to fit to the surface properly and ensure a level
placement.

er before inserting the speaker into the surface opening.
(fig.6)

torque set to the lowest setting (see VX or VXQ installa-
tion manual for detailed steps).

the speaker.
3. Place the grille onto the speaker and verify proper fit.
