User manual BOSTON ACOUSTICS HSI 455

[. . . ] WARNING Always turn off the amplifier or receiver when connecting speakers or any other components to the system. NOTE This manual assumes the installer possesses skill in the proper use of hand and power tools, knowledge of local building and fire codes, and a familiarity with the environment behind the wall or ceiling in which the speakers will be installed. If the speakers are installed horizontally, mount them as mirror images of each other with the tweeter on the inside. If the speaker is mounted vertically, and its bottom edge is more than 66-inches above the floor, invert the speaker so the tweeter is below the woofer.

Insert a long, bent piece of wire and rotate to confirm that there are no obstructions behind the chosen location. Run the wire from the amplifier location to the cutout. Allow for an extra foot of wire at the cutout. The HSi speaker jack will accept either bare wire up to 12gauge, or single banana plugs. The speaker must slide into the wall woofer side first. If you wish to paint your speakers or grilles it should be done prior to installation of the grille. Insert the grille into the slots in the baffle by gently applying pressure along the edge. The speakers may be painted before or after they are installed. Insert the supplied paint mask into the frame of the speaker. If you are using spray paint, apply two light coats. If you are applying paint with a brush or roller, thin the paint and apply two very light coats. This helps prevent excessive paint buildup or "runs" on the frame. After the paint has dried, use the finger pulls to remove the paint mask. Carefully remove the cloth from the inside of the grille. If you are using spray paint, apply two light coats. If you are applying paint with a brush or roller, thin the paint and apply two very light coats. This helps prevent paint from filling the holes on the grille.
