When you have decided on the location for the speaker, trace this template lightly in pencil

where the hole should be. If unsure on whether there may or may not be studs where the

planned speakers are located, use a keyhole or drywall saw to drill a ⅛” hole in the center

of the template, then insert a bent coat hanger through the hole to feel for obstructions.

5. Required Tools

The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.

Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier to speaker connections. Which

gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speaker.

The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.

Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12 mm) of the

insulation o both ends of the wire. To

avoid stray strands, twist them at the

end. Connect the wire to the amplifier,

and make sure the wire connected to

the le speaker output will be routed

to the le speaker, right output to right

speaker, etc.

Use a two conductor wire that allows you to identify one conductor from the oth-

er. This designation may be obvious or as subtle as a ridge on one conductor.

It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive (+) and negative

(-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire is used for positive

and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other colors or patterns are

used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to be positive and nega-

tive as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.

On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified as red

for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the

speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive

connector in the amplifier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several

methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.



One option is to li up the carpet and

route “tape wire” under the carpet.

• 

The wire can be routed behind the

baseboard by cutting a groove out of

the back of the baseboard, or by buy-

ing special baseboard designed for

concealing wires.

• 

When available, you can route the wire

through an attic or crawlspace.

When running wires through a wall, be

sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC

wiring, pipes, and ducts.

If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the

installation process will be a bit dierent (although much simpler). For these

situations, it’s recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how

to install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our

website. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.
