the mounting dogs clamp onto the ring. Be careful, over-

tightening the screw can damage the ceiling tile and/or 

the speaker.

7. 

Set the speaker tap switch on the front of the speaker to 

the appropriate setting.

Tip: 

If you aren’t sure of the tap settings needed for the 

speaker, leave the grille off so that settings can easily be 

adjusted using the rotary knob.

8. 

Maneuver the speaker, bracket, and tile to the ceiling grid, 

and attach the screw terminal connector.

9. 

Attach a security tie wire to the eyelet on top of the speaker 

and attach the other end to the ceiling support system per 

your local building code.

10. 

Slide the whole assembly into the ceiling, and place the grille on the front of the speaker.

Note: 

The 8 subwoofer has a grille retention wire for rare cases when air pressure generated from bass can cause 

the grille to detach. Push the plug on the end of the wire into the hole in front of the subwoofer, then attach 

the grille.

PERMANENT CEILINGS

1. 

Choose a location for each speaker that is free of obstructions created by joists, HVAC ductwork, electrical wire 

runs, plumbing or anything else that might not allow for the depth of the speaker or create interference or noise.

2. 

Once you have determined your locations, mark the hole to cut out for the speaker using the supplied template. 

Don’t forget to allow for the size of the speaker bezel if you are choosing to install the speaker near a side wall 

or other item that could become an obstacle.

3. 

If you are unsure of potential obstacles, carefully cut your holes using an angle to the inside of the cutout area 

as illustrated. This will allow you to ‘plug’ the hole easily if needed. If the area is clear and a good location for the 

speaker, cut the edges of the opening at 90 degrees to accommodate the speaker diameter.

4. 

Make up the speaker wiring connection before installing the speaker. See “Wiring Connections” for instructions.
