[. . . ] When used as rear/surrounds, aim tweeter toward the nearest reflecting surface (an adjacent wall or ceiling) for a more diffuse sound field. FIGURE 5 RC60i, RC80i models: Grasping the round tweeter with the tips of the fingers of one hand, pivot the tweeter in the direction you desire. Paint of your choice (to make the job easier, we recommend spray painting the grille) · A paperclip or corkscrew (for removing the paintable grille, corkscrew can also be used to open the wine when you relax with your newly painted RCi speakers)) · masking tape · Paint mask (to cover unpaintable parts, supplied!If the speaker is not yet installed, the grille can be removed simply by pushing the clamp screws forward to push the grille off the speaker from the inside. [. . . ] ) can support the weight of the speakers (see specification page for the weight of your model). ⷠMake sure the locations you select do not conceal studs, electrical wiring or plumbing. Prior to installation, hold the speaker in your chosen location to make sure it safely clears obstacles such as studs, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames. Your cutout must be at least 1" (25mm) from adjoining walls or ceiling, internal studs or plumbing. ⷠUsing the template, trace the installation location with a pencil. You can do this by holding the template in your preferred location and tracing around it (rectangle) or within the template pop-out area (round). Carefully cut the hole with the appropriate cutting tool for your wall or ceiling material. start the hole by drilling a hole on the inside of the tracing (with the drill bit touching the line). Use this hole to insert the saw or knife and begin cutting [figure 11]. ⷠOnce you have cut the hole, fish your previously positioned wiring out of the hole and connect the speaker. Strip 2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand (so you have two unfrayed strands). Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each speaker is red (+) and the other is black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red terminal (+) of your amplifier or receiver to the red terminal (+) on your speaker and the wire from the black terminal (-) of your amplifier or receiver to the black terminal (-) on your speaker. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency [figure 12]. To install the speaker, first carefully remove the grille using a straightened paperclip or other pointed metal tool. Insert the point into one of the grille perforations near a corner and lift the grille free. Never use a knife or screwdriver to pry between the grille and the speaker frame. Make sure that the rotating wall clamps are flipped inwards so that your speaker fits into your cutout without nicking your wall. Hint--on the RC55i, RC65i and RC85i models, tighten the center screws before tightening the corners for the most flush fit to your wall. Carefully reinstall the grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just resting on the frame. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker and push the grille into the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle; the grille may be easily bent out of shape by rough handling.
