Installing the Easy-Mount Box Onto the Wall
1. The C1.wd is shipped pre-assembled with the faceplate attached to the easy-mount box
with bolts. In order to install the C1.wd onto the wall, you will first need to separate the
faceplate from the box. First, remove the grille mounting flanges, using the grille mount-
ing flange driver. Note that there may be shims under some of the grille mounting flanges.
You will need to save these shims for use when you reinstall the faceplate. Once the grille
mounting flanges and shims are removed, use a 5/16” hex key or driver to unscrew the
faceplate mounting bolts. You will later reattach the faceplate using these same bolts.
2. There is one speaker wire access hole located at one of the short ends of the easy-
mount box, and because the box is otherwise symmetrical, the hole can be at the bottom
or top of the speaker. As well, there are holes at the back of the easy-mount box for either
speaker wires or mounting screws. The box comes with a solid grommet pre-installed in
each of the nine holes. Any solid grommet may be replaced with a regular grommet. The
grommet hole size you will need depends on the size of the wire or screw you are putting
through the hole.
In the parts packet you will find a selection of regular grommets with holes through them
in varying sizes. Use of a snug fitting grommet is important to get a good seal around the
speaker wire or screws where they enter the box. Once you have determined the proper
grommet sizes, feed the speaker wire through its grommet. Make sure there is enough
extra speaker wire feeding into the box for easy handling of the loudspeaker faceplate.
3. If possible, find a wall stud to screw the easy-mount box into. To find a wall stud, use a
stud finder.
4. Square up the easy-mount box over the stud at listening height using a level.
5. If you can screw into a wall stud, use 2 #10 x 2” square drive round washer head
screws with metal washers (from the included parts packet). These screws should fit snug-
ly in the appropriate size grommet hole. Make sure that any holes not used for mounting
or running speaker wire have solid grommets in them. These solid grommets not only seal
the box, but also act as a rubber cushion between the box and the wall.
