INSTALLATION
Perform the following steps to install the speakers into a ceiling composed of drywall. The
speaker can be mounted to a surface that is between 3/8" and 1-1/4" thick, with at least 4"
internal clearance.
1.
Determine where you will be installing the speaker. Use a stud finder to ensure that
there is sufficient space between the desired location and the adjacent studs. Be
sure and check for horizontal framing members, as well. Use a pencil to mark the
edges of the adjacent studs.
2.
If you have not already done so, remove the
center portion of the cardboard installation
template/paint mask and set it aside. The
central portion is the paint mask, while the
outer portion is the installation template.
3.
Position the installation template against the
ceiling at the installation location.
4.
Use a carpenter's level to ensure that the
template is level.
5.
Use a pencil to mark the cut line on the ceiling.
6.
Remove the template from the wall and set it aside.
7.
Use the level again to check the cut lines to ensure that they are level. Repeat steps
3-6 as necessary until the cut lines are level.
8.
Drill a small hole in the middle of the cutout area. If the proposed installation
location is not clear, you can more easily repair the small hole than if you cut
without checking and find one or more obstructions.
9.
Take a stiff piece of wire, such as a hanger, and bend it 90° about 8" from the end.
Insert the wire past the bend, then rotate the wire 360° to check for hidden
obstructions behind the ceiling. Push it in to ensure that there is sufficient clearance
behind the ceiling.
