VAIL
AMP
INSTALLATION
1.
Prior
to
actual installation
of
the
VAIL
Amp,
it
is
necessary
to
run
speaker cable
to
the amplifier location.
2.
Use
the provided cut-out template
to
align and cut opening.
If
you
are
not
sure
of
potential obstruction behind the mounting
area,
start by cutting a small penciled mounting hole. Cutting a small
hole at
an
angle first will make drywall repair much easier
if
necessary.
3.
Once confirmed that there
is
no obstruction behind the mounting
area,
finish cutting the hole at a 90 degree angle.
4.
Connect the speaker cables
to
the speaker
output
phoenix
connector while ensuring polarity
with
the speakers,+
to+

damage
the amplifier, wall surface,
or
both.
WALL PLATE INSTALLATION
1. Choose a location for the wall plate, preferably near
an
electrical
outlet.
2.
Use
the provided cut-out template
to
align and cut opening.
If
you
are
not
sure
of
potential obstruction behind the mounting
area,
start
by cutting a small penciled mounting hole. Cutting a small hole at
an
angle first will make drywall repair much easier
if
necessary.
3.
Once confirmed that there
is
no obstruction behind the mounting
area,
finish cutting the hole at a 90 degree angle.
