Step
8-
Insert the Grille - Consider which direction the logo is facing and press the grille
into place until the front
of
the grille is flush with the rim. Make sure grille is securely
seated to prevent it from vibrating loose and falling.
Removing the Grille-- The grille presents a tight fit
in
order to make sure that it won't
fall out, even with high vibrations that can be produced by these speakers.
If
you need to
remove the grille,
it
is easiest to do so by inserting 2 pointed objects (such as push pins)
into 2 nearby holes
in
the grille, presenting slow even pressure to pull down
on
the grille
until that section
of
the grille comes out approximately 6
mm
(1
/4
inch).
Work your way
around the grille, loosening a section at a time until the grille comes out.
Painting
the
Speaker
The speaker's textured white finish complements most decor and does not need further finishing.
Where the interior design requires it, these speakers are easy to paint.
The rim can
be
painted before installation or
in
cases where the rim needs
to
be finished along
with the ceiling, the speaker rim can
be
painted after attaching into the ceiling.
Type
of
Paint-
The speaker's polystyrene rim accepts almost any type
of
latex
or
oil based
paint. Two coats are recommended.
Painting
Process-
For best results,
it
is recommended to use the following procedure:
• Clean the rim and grille with a light solvent such as mineral spirits by rubbing the item with
a lightly dampened cloth. Do not, however, use abrasives such as sandpaper
or
steel wool.
Nor
should you use gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK, paint thinner, harsh detergents or
other chemicals. Use
of
these cleaners may result in permanent damage to the enclosure.
• After cleaning, apply two
or
more two thin coats
of
either latex
or
oil-based paints. Latex
paint will adhere better
if
an oil-based primer is used first. Application can be made
by
rolling, brushing
or
spraying.
Painting the Speaker Along With the
Ceiling-
Insert the clear plastic paint shield into the
front
of
the speaker to mask the drivers and internal baffle, paint the speaker, then remove the
shield.
Painting the
Grille-
Painting the grille requires removal
of
the logo and the internal grille
cloth, they spray painting.
If
the grille is rolled
or
brush painted, the mesh may become
clogged with paint and poor sound quality
may
result. Replace the internal grille cloth and
JBL logo.
