[. . . ] Test your distance BEFORE INSTALLATION by simply holding the speaker in the place you plan to install it, and seeing how it affects any TVs or video monitors nearby. If your monitor experiences discoloration or distortion, immediately move the speaker a little farther away. The fixed 15° angled driver in the ceiling speaker allows you to direct the midrange towards your listening area when used for front stage (left­center­right). 1 back speakers, direct the driver towards the listening area for a more direct sound field or toward a wall for a more diffuse soundfield. [. . . ] You should have a thorough understanding of local building and fire codes and a familiarity with the area behind the wall or ceiling into which you plan to install your speakers. Use at least 18 gauge wire or heavier for the utmost in sound quality. If you are in doubt that you possess the necessary skills or tools, consult your Polk Audio dealer, or a professional installer.

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. 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 10]. ⷠOnce you have cut the hole, fish your previously positioned wiring out of the hole and connect the speaker. Strip 1/2 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).
