NEW CONSTRUCTION
You may either purchase the
optional AAS88 back box kit, or
you may install the speaker after
the wallboard has been installed
by following the instructions for
existing construction on page 8.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLING THE AAS88
USING THE AAS88BB BACK
BOX KIT
The AAS88BB enclosure “back
box” is optional. If desired, it is
installed during new construction
before the wallboard is installed.
Included With the
AAS88BB:
(4) L-brackets
(8) #10 32 x 1" screws
(8) #10 split washers
(8) #10 flat washers
(8) #8 x 3/4" woofer screws
(2) wood centering bars
(4) #10 32 x 1-1/2" flat-head
screws
Installation:
1. Install the two centering bars as
shown in Detail B in the draw-
ings. The centering bars are for
setting the depth of the enclo-
sure. They also help locate the
left/right position of the enclo-
sure as they can be mounted
into the studs at the left and
right to hold the enclosure in
the correct location before final
mounting.
2. Install the four L-brackets to the
four corners of the enclosure.
Each of the eight screws should
have both the split washer and
flat washer installed; the split
washer goes on first. Leave the
screws a half-turn loose at first
to allow for adjustment later
(see Detail A). Do not screw the
L-brackets to the wall studs at
this time (see step 6).
3. Fit the enclosure into the wall.
The bottom edge of the bottom
L-brackets will rest against the
baseboard 2 x 4.
At this time, make note of
adjustments necessary to
square the enclosure into
the wall (see Detail C).
4. After refitting and tightening the
L-brackets into the enclosure
(but not the wall studs yet), fit
the enclosure into the wall once
again.
5. At this time, you may want to
screw through each side of the
wood centering bars to mount
the enclosure to the studs. This
will help hold the enclosure in
position before the L-brackets
are mounted to the studs.
6. Screw the L-brackets into the
studs.
