Before mounting (see above), keep in mind the following points:
� Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls. � Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and can support the weight of the speaker.

* Measured pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission�s Trade Regulation rule on Power Output Claims for Amplifiers. ** Measured by Audio Spectrum Analyzer.
