AAS88
EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
The grille is packed separately
from the speaker. If at some
later date you wish to remove the
grille from the speaker, to avoid
scratching the grille or baffle you
may unfold a paper clip, insert the
straight end through one of the
holes in the grille, and gently
pull up.
Determine the correct speaker
location.

NOTE: Always allow at least
one-half inch between a wall stud
and the speaker cutout, or the lock-
ing tabs will not be able to swivel
into place.

Cut the drywall.
Connect the speaker wires to
the speaker as described on
pages 4–7.
Replace the metal grille. Attach the
Audioaccess logo to the grille to
correspond to vertical or horizontal
installation.
Place the frame assembly in the
wall until the frame surface is
flush with the wallboard.
Screw down each of the ten
Phillips-head screws. It is best to
use a low-speed cordless driver
or a handheld screwdriver to
tighten the screws to prevent
overtightening. The locking tabs
will swivel into place and secure
the unit to the rear surface of the
dr
ywall.
NOTES:
• Use the cardboard template
when cutting the drywall.
A
lthough the AAS88 may be
oriented either horizontally
or vertically, the installation
procedure is the same.
• Please be aware the template
is slightly oversized to allow for
some margin of error when cut-
ting with the drywall saw –
there should be no need to
allow for further margin of error
as this may risk the integrity of
the installation.
