DBA10EX In-ceiling Subwoofer Manual
When you’ve decided on the locations for all of the speakers, use the template to trace a
circle lightly in pencil where the hole should be. (If you don’t have a template, check the
Specifications section for cutout sizes.) If you’re unsure on whether there may be obstacles
(such as pipes or wires) where you plan on installing the speaker, drill a ⅛ inch hole in the
center of the circle, then put a bent coat hanger through the hole to feel around. Use a
keyhole or drywall saw to cut the hole.
5. Cutting the Hole
In some situations the speakers may look better if the color matched the walls, ceiling, or
trim in the room. This can be accomplished by painting the grille. The grille must be paint-
ed with spray paint, and most hardware stores will mix a can of paint to match whatever
color you need. Before painting, carefully remove the thin cloth on the underside of the
grille. Lightly spray the front of the grille with the paint from a distance, being careful not to
plug any of the holes. Diluting the paint with paint thinner will lessen the risk of filling any
holes. If a hole gets plugged use a can of compressed air to open it. Once the paint is dry,
put the cloth back on the grille.
