Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several 

methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.

Wire Routing

One option is to lift up the carpet and 

rout “tape wire” under the carpet.

Under the Carpet

The wire can be routed behind the 

baseboard by cutting a groove out of 

the back of the baseboard, or by buy-

ing special baseboard designed for 

concealing wires.

Behind the Baseboard

When available, you can route the wire 

through an attic or crawlspace. 

Attic or Basement

When running wires through a wall, be 

sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC 

wiring, pipes, and ducts. 

Through Walls

If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the 

installation process will be a bit different (although much simpler). For these 

situations, it’s recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how to 

install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our web-

site. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.
