EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
Remove the grille from the
speaker frame by pulling on the
paper tab. If the tab is missing,
to avoid scratching the grille or
baffle you may unfold a paper
clip, insert the straight end
through one of the holes in the
grille, and gently pull up.

Cut the drywall. 
Note: Always allow at least
one-half inch between a wall
stud and the speaker cutout or
the locking tabs will not be able
to swivel into place.
Connect the speaker wires to
the speaker. Model SP6CS
requires two sets of speaker
wires, one for each channel.
Place the frame assembly in
the wall.
Screw down each of the four
Phillips head screws. The lock-
ing tabs will swivel into place
and secure the unit to the rear
surface of the drywall.
Replace the metal grille.
Determine the correct speaker
location. 
Note: Remove the inner tem-
plate, which is the paint shield,
at the perforation. Use the
outer template when cutting
the drywall.
The SoundPoint speakers fea-
ture unique swivel mounts for
the tweeters that enable you to
aim the very directional high
frequencies toward the listen-
ing position, at ear-level height.
Before installing the speaker
grille, gently press on the outer
edge of the tweeter mount to
adjust the position of the
tweeter. The tweeter will not
swivel more than 15 degrees in
any direction; do not attempt to
force it to move further. You
may also rotate the tweeter to
orient the JBL logo as desired.
The dual tweeters of the SP6CS
speaker may be swiveled inde-
pendently. Optimum imaging
will be obtained by aiming the
tweeters to the left and right of
the listening position, at ear-
level height, if your application
permits.

NEW CONSTRUCTION
PAINTING THE SPEAKER 
FRAME AND GRILLE
SoundPoint Series loud-speak-
ers can be painted to match
any decor. If you wish to
change their color, the satin
finish on the grille and frame
will function as a primer coat.
Before painting, install the paint
shield (inner section of tem-
plate in the assembly kit)
securely into the recess in the
baffle. This will protect the
speaker components and baffle
from paint residue. Use a high-
quality spray paint, and apply a
thin coat of color. 
Be certain the grille per-
forations remain free of paint.
Filling them with paint will
diminish the sound quality.
Note: Gently remove the
acoustical foam blanket from
the grille before painting.
Reattach the blanket after the
paint has dried.
You will need to purchase the correct rough-in frame kit for your model:

TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THERE IS NO SOUND
FROM ANY OF THE
SPEAKERS:
• Check that receiver/amplifier 
is on and a source is playing.
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/ampli-
fier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make
sure none of the speaker wires
are frayed, cut, punctured or
touching each other.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier.
IF THERE IS NO SOUND
COMING FROM ONE
SPEAKER:
• Check the “Balance” control 
on your receiver/amplifier.
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/ampli-
fier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make
sure none of the speaker wires
are frayed, cut, punctured or
touching each other.
IF THERE IS LOW (OR
NO) BASS OUTPUT:
• Make sure the connections 
to the left and right “Speaker
Inputs” have the correct polar-
ity (+ and –).
• Consider adding a powered
subwoofer to your system.
• In Dolby Digital or DTS modes,
make sure your receiver/
processor is correctly config-
ured. When using a subwoofer,
make sure the subwoofer 
output of the receiver/proces-
sor has been enabled. If no
subwoofer is being used, make
sure the left and right front and
rear speakers have been con-
figured as “LARGE.” See your
receiver/processor’s owner’s
manual for futher information
on correct speaker configura-
tion in Dolby Digital, DTS and
other surround sound modes.
IF THE SYSTEM PLAYS
AT LOW VOLUMES BUT
SHUTS OFF 
AS VOLUME IS
INCREASED:
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/ampli-
fier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make
sure none of the speaker wires
are frayed, cut , punctured or
touching each other.
• If more than one pair of main
speakers is being used, check
the minimum-impedance
requirements of your receiver/
amplifier.
