8.
Insert the speaker into the opening, then tighten the Phillips screws located on the front baffle to rotate and
tighten the mounting doglegs to the ceiling. The mounting doglegs will move outward and tighten to secure
the speaker to the drywall.
Caution:
If using a power
screwdriver or drill, always
use the
lowest
torque setting.
Never over-tighten.
9.
Attach the metal grille (Round or Square) to the speaker face by placing the grille over the edge of the frame.
The grille self-centers onto the magnet attachment system incorporated in the frame.
SUBWOOFER INSTALLATION
Note:
This subwoofer is designed only for installations where you have full, unobstructed access to ceiling joists,
such as in new construction or within unfinished attic space.
1.
Choose a location for the subwoofer and port tube 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.
Tip:
It’s best to first determine the location of the ceiling opening, and work backward from there to determine
locations for the sub unit and port tube.
2.
Make sure the sub unit’s port tube will be able to reach the planned ceiling opening, and that both ends of the
tube can be securely connected at both ends (about 0.5 meter, or 18 inches, from sub unit to opening).
3.
To make installation easier, install a New Construction Bracket (ES-IM4-BRKT-IC, not included) at the location
where you want the ceiling port.
4.
Use large lag screws or lag bolts to secure the sub unit to the side of the ceiling joist. To best isolate the sub
enclosure, install the two foam pads onto the bottom of the sub enclosure between the enclosure and the
joist, and maintain an air space between the side of the enclosure and the bottom edge of the joist.
5.
Connect speaker wiring and jumper, if required, to the sub unit.
6.
Securely attach the port tube to the sub unit by using the provided clamp.
Important
: Because the sub unit
will be inaccessible after the ceiling is installed,
make absolutely sure the port tube is securely attached to the
sub.
