Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Sonance Visual Performance

Series Speakers. This guide covers the following speaker

models: VPXT6 (6” Rectangular), VPXT6R (6” Round),

VPXT6R SST (6” Round, Single-Stereo Technology

®

) and

Before Installation: Retro-fit

1. Determine the location for the speaker.
2. Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are

no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts, pocket doors

or air returns in the wall cavity that will interfere with

the speaker.
3. Position the included cutout template where the

speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the

wall or ceiling.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole

in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire

into the hole to feel-around for possible obstructions.
4. Cut the mounting hole using tools appropriate for the

construction, and run the speaker wires from the

mounting hole to the amplifier location.

1. Strip 1/4” – 1/2” (6mm – 13mm) of insulation from each
