The first step in installing flush-mount loudspeakers in a pre-existing
construction is to establish the location of the ceiling joists or wall studs.
You may be able to do this by lifting upstairs floorboards or stud finding
tools. If not, you may need to make pilot holes and a probe but recognise
this may entail making good afterwards.
Once a suitable location is identified, you will need to cut out the correct
size opening in the surface of the plasterboard using the supplied cut-out
template and a padsaw. You should make a pilot hole first and take care not
to cut into pre-existing electrical cables or pipe-work.
You will need to run speaker cable from the opening back to the amplifier
(in the case of the Single-stereo model CXC-650-S you will need two
cables). Ensure you comply with any building codes that may apply in your
location.
Fitting the speaker into the cut-out opening
Before inserting the speaker into the opening in the wall/ceiling, attach the
speaker cable(s) to the speaker, taking utmost care to ensure the correct
polarity of the speaker wires as this is critical to the correct operation of the
speakers.
Insert the speaker housing into the opening and tighten the mounting
screws to engage the “swing-dog” fasteners. Be careful to not over-tighten.
The “swing-dog” fasteners will clamp the speaker frame and the mounting
surface together.
To insert the speaker grille, start on one edge and slowly work your fingers
around the grille edges to ease into the groove. Make sure all edges are in
the groove before applying pressure to insert. It is a snug fit. Do not push on
the centre of the grille. If the grille is not going in, it means that not all edges
are in the groove. Ease the grille off and start again.
If the grille needs to be removed, use the supplied finger hook tools to
gently ease it out of the housing.
