Gasket requirements and application

• There are two sizes of gasket strips included in the accessory pack with the 

owner’s manual.

– 5 short gaskets.

– 2 long gaskets.

• For ALL installations where cavity depth is 4" or less, the gaskets are 

to be applied as follows:

– 3 SHORT gaskets are to be applied across the back of the wooden 

enclosure.

• For In-Ceiling and In-Wall installations where the side of the enclosure 

ends against a joist, stud or installed framing material:

– One SHORT gasket is to be applied to each side of the enclosure that will

be against the framing material. The SHORT gasket is designed 
to fit behind the bezel, between the lock arm openings.

– One LONG gasket is to be applied to each side of the enclosure that 

will be against the framing material.

Connecting the speaker

• Run color-coded wires between the speaker cavity and amplifier

unit. When running the wires inside the ceiling to the opening, leave a
minimum of 18" of additional length in the cavity to facilitate speaker
connection. 

• Fish wiring out of hole.

• Connect the speaker wires to the UIW RSS II taking care to make red to

red (+) and black to black (-) terminal connections.

• Refer to your amplifier or receiver loudspeaker wiring instructions, turn

off the unit and connect the speaker wires to the appropriate colored out-
put terminal on the unit, again making red to red (+) and black to black (-)
connections. This will ensure absolute phase throughout the system.
