BackboxCV installation

02

Check which version of the BackboxCV you 
have before following this section

Create 455 x 205mm (17.9 x 8.1”) aperture 
(CV200)
Create 405 x 305mm (15.9 x 12“) aperture 
(CV300)
Create 455 x 350mm (17.9 x 13.8”) aperture 
(CV345)

Using a sharp knife or pad saw, cut an 
aperture in your plasterboard wall or ceiling. 
Ensure the aperture is created between 
supporting joists or stud work.

We strongly advise that joists are not cut to 
make space for the backbox. Any activity of 
this sort may well influence the structural 
integrity of your property.

Important: Double check the size of the 
aperture, as this is important further on into 
the installation process.

Locate joist work

When you have chosen your speaker 
locations, before cutting a hole in the 
plasterboard it is important that you locate 
the position of the wall studs. Ensure the 
spacing between them is at least 5mm 
greater than the width of your Amina 
speaker for a portrait orientated speaker.
