holes in the rear to allow either
left- or right-side placement. Each
speaker will require two 1-1/2"

to a wall stud. If a wall stud is
unavailable, install an anchor
appropriate for a 1-1/2"(38mm) #8

For speaker connections, use a
high-quality speaker wire with
polarity coding. The side of the
wire with a ridge or other coding
is usually considered positive
polarity (i.e., +). Heavier-gauge
wire should be used when more
than 50 feet (15m) of speaker wire
is required. The wire channels
on the rear of the P52OWS will

between 80Hz and 120Hz. Consult
your receiver/processor manual
for more information about these
adjustments.
