 - When removing the speaker from its packaging, note that there is a cutting template for the speaker. Ensure to remove the excess along the dashed line
 - Using the cutting template, trace the template centered in the ceiling tile
 - Using a drywall saw, carefully cut out the mounting location
 - Flip the ceiling tile over and align the tile mounting plate with the cut hole.
 - Using a small tool, carefully remove the screen from the speaker. This is necessary in order to secure the mounting arms.
 - With one hand on the speaker, insert the speaker into the mounting location and tighten the mounting arms securely to the mounting plate

Connecting to Power
- Determine if power is available above the ceiling or at outlet height.
 - If running power to an outlet, determine the best location and route for running 18/2.
 - Using a stud finder, scan the wall as near as possible to the power outlet, ensuring to not mount on a stud and remaining level with the power outlet.
 - Cut a hole into the drywall, large enough to fit the mud ring into it securely.
 - Using fish tape and glow rods, fish the 18/2 through the drywall.
 - Once the 18/2 is through the cut hole, insert the mud ring and secure the cable pass through plate
 - Strip back the shield of the 18/2 and the black and red wires.
 - Using B-connectors, splice the power brick to the 18/2
 - Plug in the power block. A small pop may be heard from the speaker upon receiving power.
 
Connecting the Camera
- Once your camera is installed, locate the AUDIO OUT on your camera.
 - Strip the jacket of the 22/2 cable revealing the red, black, and bare wires inside.
 - Cut away the plastic surrounding the cable inside. Strip away a small piece of the red and black jackets revealing the bare copper wire.
 - Wire the black and bare to the - and the red to the + of the AUDIO OUT of the phoenix connector.
 - Run the 22/2 cable from the camera to the AMP2SIC5, wiring your red wire to the + phoenix connection and black to the - connection of the LINE INPUT of the AMP2SIC5
 - Run the 18/2 from the AMP2SIC5 to its designated power outlet.
