1. If the template has a removable center, remove it at this time.
2. Using a stud finder, position the template completely between wall studs or ceiling joists.
MC4, MC6, MC6-HT, and MC8: Install in-ceiling only.
3. Hold or tape the template in place and mark cutout with a pencil. For rectangular
speakers, level the template before marking (Figs. 5a, 6a, & 6b).
4. Remove the template and cut out the opening with a drywall knife (Figs. 5b & 6c).
5. In-wall: If desired, place fiberglass insulation above and below the cut-out hole. Place
a half thick piece of fiberglass insulation behind the speaker. In-ceiling: If desired, place
fiberglass insulation 12" (30cm) or thicker between the joists directly above the speaker.
6. Connect speaker cables. Be consistent when connecting the speaker leads to the terminals.
Take great care to assign the same color to the (+) terminal on both the speaker and the
amplifier.
7. Set your power drill to the high speed but low torque setting.
8. Ensure the clamps on the lip of the speaker are positioned exactly as shown in the Warning
Diagrams.
9. Gently push the assembly into the ceiling or wall hole (Figs. 5c & 6d).
10. Supporting the assembly with one hand, tighten each screw using the electric drill and
Torx T20 bit. Stop tightening when you sense resistance (Figs. 5d & 6e). MC6-HT: Before
tightening screws orient speaker so the drivers are positioned towards the desired position.
11. Gently press the grille into place (Figs. 5e & 6f).
Painting the Speaker Grille
IMPORTANT! Before painting remove grille from speakers. Do not paint the surface of the speak-
er behind the grille. Do not use a paint roller.
1. Remove the grille from the speaker.
2. Paint the grille, being careful not to plug the holes. For best results use a spray rather than
a brush. Allow the paint to completely dry before proceeding. Do not paint the surface
behind the grille.
