1.
To accommodate correct
speaker orientation, the
RIF55 can be installed
horizontally or vertically.
For vertical installation, the
snap on wings (a) must be
used (see Fig. 1). In hori-
zontal installation, if cross
braces are available above
& below the speaker loca-
tion, the snap on wings (a)
can be used (see Fig. 2), or
the rough-in-frame tabs
(see (b) in Fig. 4) can be
directly nailed onto vertical
wall studs (see Fig. 3).
2.
When using installation methods
shown in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2, snap the two
flat wing sections (a) onto the rough-in-
frame. Note: Use the edge of the wing
with the set of two large rectangular
openings (see (e) in Fig. 4).
3.
Position the rough-in-frame assembly as required
between the wall studs or cross braces and nail into
place. Be sure that the nail heads are set as flush as
possible against the snap-on wings or the rough-in-
frame tabs (see (b) in Fig. 4). Note: Wire tabs (see (c)
in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5) go towards the back (inside of the
wall).
4.
See Fig. 5. Pre-routed wire can be held in place
using the molded wire tabs (c) on the back side of the
frame unit. Be sure that no wire remains exposed on
the front (wall board) side of the assembly. Please
note that in order to facilitate correct wall board
installation, the raised inner lip of the rough-in-frame
(d) serves as a physical barrier that the wall board
edge should rest against. After wallboard installation is
complete, the speaker wire can be run through the
opening in the wallboard and attached to the speaker
system as detailed in the owner’s manual.
