EXISTING CONSTRUCTION

Remove the grille from the
speaker frame by pulling on the
paper tab. If the tab is missing,
to avoid scratching the grille or
baffle you may unfold a paper
clip, insert the straight end
through one of the holes in the
grille, and gently pull up.

Cut the drywall. 

Note:

Always allow at least one-half
inch between a wall stud and
the speaker cutout or the lock-
ing tabs will not be able to
swivel into place.

Connect the speaker wires
to the speaker.

Place the frame assembly
in the wall.

Screw down each of the three
Phillips head screws. The locking
tabs will swivel into place and
secure the unit to the rear surface
of the drywall.

Replace the metal grille.

Determine the correct speaker
location. 

Note:

Remove the

inner template, which is the
paint shield, at the perforation.
Use the outer template when
cutting the drywall. 

The HTI speakers feature
unique swivel mounts for the
tweeters that enable you to
aim the very directional high
frequencies toward the 
listening position, at ear-level
height. Before installing the
speaker grille, gently press on
the outer edge of the tweeter
mount to adjust the position of
the tweeter. The tweeter will
not swivel more than 15
degrees in any direction; do
not attempt to force it to move
further. You may also rotate
the tweeter to orient the JBL
logo as desired.
