2. Use tape or the assistance of another person to temporarily affix the loose end of 
the wire above and to the left of the hole (Figure 26). This keeps the wire out of the 
way until you have the speaker partially inserted in the wall and are ready to make the 
connections.

Insert the speaker into the opening
Before you follow the steps below, check to be sure none of the dogleg clamps (two on each 
side) are protruding from behind the frame of the speaker. If so, press them back behind the 
frame so the speaker will fit into the hole.
Tip: Loosening the screw terminals on the upper left side of the speaker before inserting the 
speaker into the hole may save you effort in making the connections.
Note: If you must insert the speaker upside-down due to a lack of space below the hole, you 
need to reorient the logo before inserting it into the hole. If you have not done so yet, remove 
the outer frame from the face of the speaker, rotate it 180˚, then reattach the frame. Refer to 
Figure 21 on page 20.
At least14 inches 
(36 cm) of wire
In ceiling installations, pay attention to the orientation of the Bose
®
 logo on the speaker 
frame. Make sure it will be oriented as you want it when you position the speaker in the 
speaker hole. If the logo should face in the opposite direction, change that before you insert 
the speaker into the hole. Do so by removing the speaker frame, rotating it 180˚, and reat-
taching it to the speaker. Refer to Figure 21 on page 20.
Also you may notice a draft in the space above the ceiling. To stop the draft, you can wrap 
some malleable insulation around the speaker enclosure before inserting it into the wall.
