need to be replaced over the cabinet. Bracing would be required on the top and bottom of
the rough opening to reattach new wallboard. Uncovering the adjacent stud faces is also
helpful to provide a large surface area to reattach drywall. Using fiberglass tape and joint
compound join the new section with the surrounding wallboard and sand once dry.
3.
Using 2 conductor speaker wire, run between the subwoofer amplifier and the subwoofer. Use 16
gauge stranded speaker wire for run lengths under 15 m [50’] and 14 gauge for runs over 15 m
[50’].
4.
After the wallboard has been installed and finished, un-cover the slot opening by removing the
screws that retain the Paint Shield and discard.
5.
The RCC640-PC can be used with wallboard thicknesses of 12.5 mm – 25.4mm [0.5” – 1.0”] thick.
The module comes configured for 12.5 mm [0.5”] wall thickness. The magnet strip should sit 3 mm
[1/8”] above the surface of the finished wallboard.
6.
If the room has a thicker wallboard, or multiple layers, utilize the included plastic Grille Spacers.
Remove the magnet strips by unscrewing the 16 x #2 Philips Head screws and add the required
spacers underneath. When using 3 or 4 spacers use the included Long Grille Spacer Screws to
accommodate the greater thickness. NOTE: If your combined wallboard thickness is larger than
1.0”, then please contact Artison for additional Grille Spacers.
PAINTING THE GRILLE & TRIM RING
1.
The Grille / Trim Ring assembly can be painted separate from the rest of the subwoofer module.
2.
Grille Scrim Cloth - Carefully remove the thin fabric scrim cloth from the interior of the grille before
painting. The scrim is not to be painted. Replace scrim cloth after the paint is completely dry. If
the scrim does not adhere to the grille again use a spray adhesive to reattach.
3.
Paint the Grille / Trim Ring with a spray method or a low nap roller. Be sure to not clog the
perforations in the grille mesh. Use compressed air to blow excess paint out before it dries.
4.
DO NOT get paint on the speaker baffle or speaker cones. Paint can damage these components
which would VOID your Warranty.
INSTALLATION OF PRE-CONSTRUCTION MODULE INTO CABINETRY
1.
The unit comes with the Pre-Construction Paint/Debris Shield in place. DO NOT REMOVE this shield
until after the room painting is completed.
2.
The subwoofer can be concealed inside of any piece of furniture or built-in cabinetry. The
subwoofer’s energy is all directed out the slot opening. This can be directed down through the
bottom of a cabinet; directly into the room or out through venting in the cabinet’s baseboard.

Dimensions for the thru hole cut-out are 727 x 78 mm (28.6” x 3.1”). Please note the thickness of
