INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting Russound Wall-Mounted Speakers. Like
all RUSSOUND speakers, they combine acoustic technology with dura-
bility and will provide years of musical enjoyment.
This manual is designed to make your SP652.1 & SP622.1 speakers as
easy to install as they are to listen to. If you’ve had any home “do-it-
yourself” experience, you should find installation of your new speak-
ers a simple job.
However, we suggest you read through this manual before starting
out. If you then decide that installing your Russound In-Wall
Speakers is beyond your skills, call your Russound dealer to arrange
for professional installation.
NECESSARY TOOLS TO DO THE JOB
Tools for installation in existing walls:
• A pencil
• A drill with a 1-inch flat bit
• A retractable utility knife or keyhole saw
• A length of stiff wire about 3 feet long (a straightened wire coat
hanger works fine)
• A Phillips-head screw driver which will fit the fastening-screws
(for the dog ears)
• A pair of diagonal pliers or wire strippers
Some of the following may also be needed, depending on the
application:
• A stud finder
• Drill bit just slightly larger than the diameter of one speaker wire
• Plumb bob or small weight on a string
• Insulated staples for securing speaker wire
• Masking tape
• Paint and applicator for changing grille and outer frame finish
SPEAKER WIRE
The amount of wire you’re going to need will of course vary with
speaker placement. We recommend labeling speaker wires left + right
and room location. Doing this takes the guess work later.
What kind to use:
We recommend using Russound AW series speaker cable or any rep-
utable brand of 16 to 12 gauge multi-stranded wiring for amplifier-
to-speaker connections.
Selecting the proper gauge:
Wire is measured in “gauges”. The bigger the number, the smaller the
wire. For example, 18-gauge is thinner than 14-gauge.
The gauge of wire you need is determined by the distance between
your amplifier/receiver and the in-wall speakers. Use the following
chart as a guide:
Length Minimum Gauge
10 to 100 ft. 16
80 to 125 ft. 14
Over 100 ft. 12
