CSUB10R INSTALLATION MANUAL
Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location.
There are several methods for routing the wire and you may need
to combine several of them.
Under the Carpet:
One option is to lift up the carpet and use tape wire to route the
wire under the carpet.
Behind the Baseboard:
The wire can be routed behind the baseboard by cutting a
groove out of the back of the baseboard, or by buying special
baseboard designed for concealing wires.
Through an Attic, Crawlspace or Basement:
When available you can route the wire through an attic or crawl-
space.
Through walls:
When running wires through a wall be sure to avoid all obstacles
such as AC wiring, pipes, and ducts.
2) Cutting the Hole
When you’ve decided on the subwoofer’s location, use the tem-
plate to trace a rectangle lightly in pencil where the hole should
be. If you’re unsure on whether there may be obstacles (such as
pipes or wires) where you plan on installing the speaker, drill a
⅛ inch hole in the center of the rectangle, then put a bent coat
hanger through the hole to feel around. If there are no obstacles,
use a keyhole or drywall saw to cut the hole.
3) Painting the Grille
In some situations the sub-
woofer may look better if the
color matched the walls, ceil-
ing, or trim in the room. This
can be accomplished by paint-
ing the grille. The grille must be
painted with spray paint, and
most hardware stores will mix a
can of paint to match whatever
color you need.
Before painting, carefully
remove the thin cloth on the
underside of the grille. Lightly
spray the front of the grille
with the paint from a distance,
being careful not to plug any
of the holes. Diluting the paint
with paint thinner will lessen
the risk of filling any holes. If
a hole is plugged, use a can of
compressed air to open it. Once
the paint is dry, put the cloth
back on the grille.right-side-up.
