Preparing

1. Make sure you have all the parts you need. You should have:

2 speakers
2 brackets
4 knobs
8 mounting screws (not included)

2. Once you have all the parts gathered, pick an installation spot and run speaker wire from your amplifier/receiver to that spot. (Don't connect anything just yet.)

Installing the Mounting Bracket

3. Hold the bracket up to the installation spot, and verify that it’s level. You can use a hardware level tool, or there are useful bubble level apps available for your smartphone.

10. Tighten the terminal knob to secure the wire.
