Setup & Installation
- I’m having trouble reversing the tension dogs. How do I remove the speaker?The dogs must be fully engaged and tightened before you can remove an installed speaker. While a quarter turn will hold the speakers in place as you work, the tension dogs require about 20 turns to be fully engaged. If they are not completely tightened, the dogs will not retract into their original parked position, and you’ll have trouble reversing them.
- Why do the dogs need to be fully tightened before removing the speakers?Our spring mechanism’s carrier compresses the spring and retrieves the dog, but in order for the carrier to reach the dog, it must be screwed in all the way. Once the dog is fully tightened, it may be reversed out to its original parked position. See the installation manual for visuals and more information.
- How do I know when the dog is fully tightened?You’ll feel resistance as you turn, and will hear it, as well. Usually this process requires about 20 turns. Make sure you apply enough pressure, so that the drill is not slipping off the screw head.
