Back Box installation:
The B23 speakers MUST USE the back boxes
provided by with the speakers. The back boxes
provide better definition to bass, higher
power handling, and less intrusion
of sound into other rooms.
• All B23’s back boxes will fit into
a 2” x 4” stud bay.
• Avoid placing a speaker in a stud
bay shared with electrical wires.
• Be sure to attach speaker cable to
back box. Note: Be careful not to
over cut sheetrock around the
opening. There is about ½” of play.
Connect your speaker cable to the terminals
on the outside of the backbox. See figure

How you are ready to install the back bock
into the cutout in the drywall using
the dogears. Place the backbox into
the hole and tighten all the dogears
securely, but don’t over tighten.

Note: If your cutout is right up
against a wood stud you can put a
wood screw through the backbox and
into the stud. See figure

Speaker Installation
These speakers are mono so you will need two
speakers for stereo sound, one for the right
channel and one for the left. There should
be a two conductor speaker cable
pre-wire to each of the speaker
locations.
Remove the speaker from the box and
inspect for any damage.
Very important, DO NOT remove the
plastic covering over the aluminum
face of the speaker until the
speaker is full installed.
If there is any damage, contact TruAudio
immediately, 888-858-1555.
Connect the twisted speaker cable that is
inside the backbox to the speaker terminals
on the back of the speaker. Push down each
post and insert the speaker cable. The posts
will be located on the back of the speaker on
the crossover. Make sure that only
BARE wire is touching the speaker
post once it slides back into place.
All TruAudio products feature gold
push binding posts which are quick
and simple to use and also are great
for conducting speaker signal.
Caution: Make sure to observe
polarity, R + (positive) from the
amp or volume control to speaker R
+ and R – (negative) to
R –. Make sure to do the same for the left
channel.
When connecting the other end of the speaker
cable to the amplifier or receiver make sure
to observe the same polarity as you
did at the speaker connection.
1. Make sure the midrange driver is
on top for the left and right
speakers. This driver will have its
own enclosure around it on the
speaker.
2. Carefully lift the speaker into
the backbox.
3. Use the machine screws provided by
TruAudio to securely attach the speaker to
the back box. See figure

4. Then simply line up the magnets on the
grill to the screw heads on the Bad
Boy and the grill will attach
itself.
