9. Insert Speaker: Carefully insert the speaker into the ceiling opening. The mounting clamps should automatically engage and secure the speaker to the ceiling. Tighten any screws if necessary to ensure a snug fit.

Operation

Connecting to an Amplifier

Once the speaker is installed in the ceiling, connect the other end of the speaker wire to your audio amplifier or receiver. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) for optimal sound quality.

• Connect the positive (+) terminal of the speaker wire to the corresponding positive (+) speaker output terminal on your amplifier.
• Connect the negative (-) terminal of the speaker wire to the corresponding negative (-) speaker output terminal on your amplifier.
