Installation Procedure (continued) • Also note that the size of the RLS III may require some modification of the stud structure in your wall. This should only be done by a competent professional who will configure the studs to maintain their structural integrity. • Speaker wire must be run inside your wall as part of the installation process of in-wall loudspeakers. Plan the connection before you start your loudspeaker installation. Step-by-Step Installation • The included template is the exact size of the required speaker opening. Once you have decided on a general location for your speaker, hold the template in the preferred position on the wall and trace around it taking care that the opening is level. • Use a saw or knife to cut the opening. • Make sure the gasket is installed on the inner surface of the speaker bezel so that it will be between the speaker bezel and the wall when the speaker is installed. • Run color coded wires between the speaker cavity and the amplifier unit. When running the wires inside the wall to the opening, leave a minimum of 12" of additional length in the cavity to facilitate speaker connection. • Connect the speaker wires to the In-Wall unit taking care to make red to red (+) and black to black (-) terminal connections. • Refer to your amplifier or receiver loudspeaker wiring instructions, turn off the unit and connect the speaker wires to the appropriate colored output terminal on the unit, again making red to red (+) and black to black (-) connections. This will ensure absolute phase throughout the system. • The metal pivoting dogs are pre-installed in the loudspeaker frame with Phillips screws. The dogs can be rotated left or right by turning the screws. 5
