This section explains how to install the Galil 2-C , that is:

)

)

Painting the speakers (see Section

4.1 Choosing the Best Location
Ideally, locate the speakers above the main listening area. Before doing so, be sure
that:

The desired location is free of obstructions, such as electrical piping, AC
ducts or water lines, and so on

There is enough space behind the mounting surface for the speakers

The rear side of the speaker is not blocked by wall studs or other objects
4.2 Cutting the Ceiling Tile
To cut the ceiling tile, do the following:
1. Print the cutout template from our Web site and make sure that the template
size is correct (12.6cm in diameter).
2. Cut the template.
Keep the cutout template for later use as a mask, as you may want to paint the speakers
(see Section
4.5
)
3. Mark the opening in the correct location by tracing the hole in the template.
4. Cut out the hole according to the template or with a circular cutter set to the
appropriate cutout size.
Initially, you can cut a smaller area inside the marked hole just to be sure that the space
above the speaker is clear
