Installation

The Pyle PDIC80 speakers are designed for easy flush mounting in walls or ceilings. Follow these steps for a successful installation:

1. Planning Placement: Choose a location in your wall or ceiling that is free from obstructions such as electrical wires, plumbing, or structural beams. Ensure there is sufficient depth (3 1/2 inches) behind the mounting surface.
2. Marking the Cut-Out: Use the provided cut-out template to mark the exact opening on your wall or ceiling. The recommended cut-out diameter is 9 3/8 inches.
3. Cutting the Opening: Carefully cut along the marked line. For drywall, a drywall saw or rotary tool is recommended. Exercise caution to avoid damaging surrounding areas.
4. Running Speaker Wire: Route speaker wires from your audio amplifier or receiver to the speaker opening. Ensure wires are of appropriate gauge for the distance and power requirements.
5. Connecting Speaker Wires: Connect the speaker wires to the terminals on the back of the speaker. Observe correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) for optimal sound.
6. Mounting the Speaker: Insert the speaker into the cut-out opening. The mounting tabs will automatically engage and secure the speaker to the wall or ceiling as you tighten the screws on the front baffle. Do not overtighten.
7. Attaching the Grille: Once the speaker is securely mounted, attach the magnetic grille to the speaker frame. The grille can be painted to match your room's decor if desired.
