1.  Introduction

OnQ offers both In-Ceiling (364518-01) and In-Wall (364519-01) 6.5” (woofer size) speakers.  They can be used
for general music distribution and/or home theater applications.  Both models are 2-way speakers and have
adjustable tweeters to help direct high frequencies to specific locations if needed.  Speakers come with several
types of templates and paint rings.

2.  Description

OnQ In-Ceiling and In-Wall speakers are made of tough semi-flexible plastic and feature perforated metal grills.
Speakers are paintable and come with painting shields to protect the drivers from paint and damage.  The
speakers feature flip out tabs for installation and both speakers have swiveling tweeters.  The In-Wall speakers
have a 3 position switch to adjust the tweeter output level; this can come in handy for matching the speaker to
its environment or tailoring to specific tastes.

3.  Installation

NOTE: It is recommended that 16 gauge 2 conductor wire be run for most applications 

from the amplifier or volume control to the speaker at a minimum.  Different 
gauges can, and should, be used based upon the distance of the intended run or 
quality of installation (

see Gauge Selection Chart

).  It is recommended that wire 

gauge not be less than 18 gauge.  

NOTE: The OnQ Impedance Matching Volume Controls (P/N 364520-01 & -03), A-BUS 

Amplified Volume Controls (P/N 364471-01, -02 & -03; w/IR 364472-01, -02 
& -03) and 6 Room Audio Distribution Module (P/N 364454-01) all 
accommodate wire gauges from 18 to 14.

A.

Run x/2 conductor (x=gauge preference) stranded speaker wire from the 
distribution/volume control to the speaker location (pre-wiring).

B.

Leave 2 to 4 feet of wire at the speakers intended location.  Use a strip of 
card board stapled to the joints/studs with a hole through it as a wire place 
holder for the drywall installers (

see Figure 1

).

C.

After drywall and/or painting is complete, push wire through hole, center 
template over hole, mark with a pencil and cut out with a dry-wall knife.
