2. Locate the hole template and remove
the inside portion of it. Save this part—it
may be used as a paint mask. Use the
inside of the template to trace the outlines
at the desired location on the ceiling or
wall. With a keyhole saw, cut along the
penciled lines.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT THROUGH
ANY EXISTING WIRING.
3. Attach the speaker wires to the speaker.
Be sure that proper phasing is observed.
4. There are four clamps which hold each
speaker in place. The clamps are tight-
ened via four front-baffle screws. To
install the speaker, first rotate the clamps
inward. Insert the speaker into the cutout
and tighten the clamps by turning the
screws clockwise. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN THESE SCREWS. Over-tight-
ening the clamps may make the grille dif-
ficult to install. (See Figure 2).
NOTE: The screws will be easier to turn
if you “prime” them first. Before
installing each speaker, turn the screws
in and then turn them back out to their
original positions.
5. Install the grille into the speaker. The
grilles fit tightly. This is to prevent each
grille from becoming loose over time.
Some effort and care is required when
installing them.
6. Repeat this procedure for the next
speaker.
To remove the grille from the
CM650BG, obtain a small paper clip
(size #1, common) and bend the last
quarter inch of it into an “L” shape.
Holding the paper clip with a pair of pli-
ers, insert the end with the “L” into a
hole near the edge of the grille.
Remove the grille by pulling the paper
clip towards you.
The CM650BG may be painted. The
plastic will readily accept most any kind
of paint.
The speakers must be masked prior to
painting them. The inside portion of the
hole template can be used as a paint
mask. Remove the outside portion of the
template by gently pulling along the per-
foration. Affix the mask to the front of the
speaker using a piece of tape.
Fold the tape onto itself to form a double-
sided loop. Affix the tape to the tweeter
and place the mask onto the speaker.
The grilles should be painted before they
are installed. The best results will be
obtained by using a spray gun or airless
sprayer, thinning the paint (prevents clog-
ging of grille holes) and by applying sev-
eral light coats instead of one heavy one.
