Painting the speakers
While the speaker and grille can be painted after it is
installed, painting it beforehand is much easier.
It is recommended to use spray paint, as brushed paint
may clog the holes in the grille and reduce the sound
quality significantly.
1
Remove the fabric scrim from the inside of the
grille.
Carefully peel off the fabric scrim and lay it down flat so
as not to get it wrinkled.
2
Use the supplied paint mask to cover the speaker.
If you don't have the paint mask, use paper and masking
tape.
3
Paint the speaker and grille the desired color.
As previously mentioned, it is strongly recommended
that you paint before installation and that you use spray
paint.
4
After the speaker and grille have dried completely,
remove the paint mask and carefully replace the fabric
scrim on the back of the grille.
Before installing
• Before installing the speakers, run the speaker
cables to the installation location.
• To maximize sound quality, choose the correct
speaker gauge cables from the table below.
If the resistance of the speaker cable is too high, the
signal will be attenuated and the speakers' frequency
response will be degraded.
