NEW CONSTRUCTION
You may either purchase the
optional SS88IWSBB kit, or you
may install the speaker after the
wallboard has been installed by
following the instructions for
existing construction on page 8.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLING THE SS88IWS
USING THE SS88IWSBB BACK
BOX KIT
The SS88IWSBB enclosure
(“back box”) is optional. If
desired, it is installed during
new construction before the
wallboard is installed.
Included With the SS88IWSBB:
(4) L-brackets
(8) #10 32 x 1" screws
(8) #10 split washers
(8) #10 flat washers
(8) #8 x 3/4" woofer screws
(2) wood centering bars
(4) #10 32 x 1-1/2" flat-head
screws
Installation:
1. Install the two centering bars
as shown in Detail B in the
drawings. The centering bars
are for setting the depth of
the enclosure. They also help
locate the left/right position
of the enclosure as they can
be mounted into the studs at
the left and right to hold the
enclosure in the correct loca-
tion before final mounting.
2. Install the four L-brackets to
the four corners of the en-
closure. Each of the eight
screws should have both the
split washer and flat washer
installed; the split washer
goes on first. Leave the
screws a half-turn loose at
first to allow for adjustment
later (see Detail A). Do not
screw the L-brackets to the
wall studs at this time (see
step 6).
3. Fit the enclosure into the
wall. The bottom edge of the
bottom L-brackets will rest
against the baseboard two-
by-four. At this time, make
note of adjustments neces-
sary to square the enclosure
into the wall (see Detail C).
4. After refitting and tightening
the L-brackets into the enclo-
sure (but not the wall studs
yet), fit the enclosure into the
wall once again.
5. At this time, you may want to
screw through each side of
the wood centering bars to
mount the enclosure to the
studs. This will help hold the
enclosure in position before
the L-brackets are mounted
to the studs.
