1.

 

Determine the area for the speaker installation and locate the cutout guide 
using pushpins to secure it in place. Ensure that the template is plumb using 
a bubble level or similar. Note: Make certain that there are no studs, 
plumbing or electrical conduit in the intended area behind the wall before 
you begin marking and cut- ting!  

2.

 

Trace the outer perimeter of the cutout guide with a pencil or a utility knife.  

3.

 

Remove the traced section of sheet rock using a keyhole saw, and clear 
debris from the edge of the hole.  

4.

 

Push any insulation to the side.  

5.

 

Disassemble bezel/Uni- Grip™ and place the supplied Allen head screws to 
the side. Place the bezel in the wall cutout and insert the Uni-Grip clamping 
bar through the opening at an angle, working on one side first. Reinstall the 
Allen head screws with the supplied 3/32" drill bit, securing both pieces to 
each other (sandwiching the wall between them), but do not tighten yet. 
Repeat on the other side.  

6.

 

Using a level, adjust assembly in wall cutout to ensure that the assembly is 
plumb. Tighten the Allen screws. Do not over torque or strip these screws. 
The large clamping area of the Uni-Grip system does not require unusually 
high torque on the screws to be secure.  

7.

 

Paint the bezel and grill as necessary, being careful not to plug up the holes 
in the grille. Note that the speaker modules are not mounted in the bezel 
and grille assembly at this time. They can be mounted later, after all the 
paint is dry.  

8.

 

Using assistance to hold the speaker modules away from the wall, connect 
both high and low pass speaker cables to the two connectors at the ends of 
the back boxes, paying attention to assign the correct band-pass and polarity 
to their respective speaker connectors.  

9.

 

Insert the speaker/back box assembly into the Uni-Grip frame and attach 
using the supplied Allen head screws and 3/32" drill bit. Do not over torque 
or strip these screws.  
 

After unpacking your C225i, keep all packing materials for future transport. 

If you 

need to ship your C225i, only the original, purpose-designed shipping carton is 
acceptable. Any other method of shipping this product runs a significant risk of 
damage to the C225i – damage that would not be covered by the warranty. (If you 
lose your packaging and need to ship your speakers, replacement packaging can be 
purchased from Wisdom Audio.)
