Install a #8 screw (not included) into the sheetrock, making sure to go into a stud, and hang the speaker onto the screw head. If a stud is not available, a sheetrock anchor should be used to support the weight of the speaker. NOTE: Because there are so many different kinds of surfaces on which the speakers could be mounted. There is no one type of fastener that we could supply that would work in all the possible situations. So taking into account the surface the speaker is being mounted on, acquire the appropriate type of fasteners. If you're not sure what type of fastener to use, take the mounting bracket to a friendly hardware store, tell them about the wall you're mounting the speaker on, and ask them to recommend an appropriate fastener. Keep in mind the weight of the speaker. Speaker Connections After your speakers are properly placed, you are ready to wire your system. Use the speaker wire included with the system to make your connections. For longer distances, #16 or #18 gauge wire available from your dealer should be used. Please see the illustration for guidance connecting the wires to the MCS 100 satellites and center channel. For connection to your receiver please refer to its owner's manual. 12V TRIGGER OUT Important!
