the cabinet wall must at least be 12.5 mm [0.5”] if the grille is going to be used.
4.
When venting the output of the subwoofer through a built-in cabinet’s baseboard, please
reference the points below:
a.
Please allow for a minimum of 640 cm
2
[100 in
2
] of total open area in the baseboard. If less
open area is provided the subwoofer will be restricted and may cause noise through the vent.
b.
Rounded corners will minimize air noise.
c.
The subwoofer is not affected by variations in shape or number of vents, as long as the
minimum total open area is maintained.
INSTALLATION OF PRE-CONSTRUCTION SUBWOOFER UNDERNEATH OR BEHIND FURNITURE
1.
Due to the thin form factor, the unit can also be hidden underneath or behind furniture. Minimum
thickness [height] suggested is 127 mm [5.0”].
INSTALLATION OF PRE-CONSTRUCTION SUBWOOFER IN-CEILING
1.
The subwoofer can also be installed in ceiling/floor joist bays. Minimum distance between joists to
accommodate the module dimensions are 727 mm [28.6”] x 354 mm [13.9”] depending upon
orientation.
2.
Dimensions for the thru hole cut-out are 727 x 78 mm [28.6” x 3.1”]. Please note the thickness of
the cabinet wall must at least be 12.5 mm [0.5”] if the grille is going to be used. 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’].
3.
After the wallboard has been installed and finished, un-cover the slot opening by removing the
four screws that retain the Paint Shield.
4.
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 be 3 mm
[1/8”] above the surface of the finished wall.
5.
If the room has a thicker wallboard, or multiple layers, utilize the included plastic Grille Spacers.
Remove the magnet strips by removing the 8 mounting screws and add the required spacing
underneath. When using 3 or 4 spacers use the included longer length 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.
