INSTALLATION:  
Speaker Placement  
Before installing your OWI speakers, consider the placement carefully, taking into effect the location of  
electrical, plumbing and other fixtures.  
Placement in Ceiling  
OWI speakers should be ideally located above the primary listening area.  
Placement in Wall  
Optimum sound will be achieved when your OWI speakers are installed at ear level or slightly higher and the  
listening area is no closer to the speakers than the distance between the speakers themselves.  
Mounting your OWI Speakers  
Determine the best area to mount your OWI speakers. It will be necessary to run your speaker wires to that  
location. This location must be free of obstructions, such as electrical conduits, HVAC ducts, or water lines.  
Be sure the mounting surface is between 3/8 and 1 1/4 inches thick, and there is at least a 2 3/4 inch clearance  
behind the mounting surface and no wall studs or other objects block the back of the speaker.  
Remove the round cardboard disc from the template supplied and keep it for later use as a paint mask, if you  
decide to paint your speakers.  
 
Painting your OWI Speakers  
The speakers' other surfaces are primed to accept ordinary latex wall paint or aerosol spray paint. The surface of the  
speaker behind the grille should remain black and must not be painted. It is necessary to mask this area with the  
center of the template that you have cut out.  
The grille can be painted as well, but great care must be taken not to clog the holes in the grille as this will  
greatly reduce the sound quality of the speakers. It is recommended that only light spray painting using 5 parts  
thinning agent to 1 part paint be used. Do not paint the grilles while they are attached to the speaker.  
Proper Wire Gauge Selection  
The gauge of wire required is determined by the distance between your amplifier/receiver and the speakers. Use  
the following chart as a guide:

Less than 10 feet  
10 to 100 feet  
Over 100 feet
