Installation and cabinet guidance

Allow for a 78 mm square frame, 44 mm depth and additional space for the terminals. Use the FRS 8 M enclosure parameters when designing the cabinet. Optional grilles: 1138 and 4634.

Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load and observe terminal polarity. For a 100 V line system, connect through a suitable line transformer; do not connect the driver directly to the line.
