INSTALLATION
Out of the box and into the wall, that’s how
easy it is to install Polk TC
i
Series In-Wall
Loudspeakers.
If you intend to do the installation yourself
we recommend that you possess some skill
in the proper use of hand and power tools.
You should have a thorough understanding of
local building and fire codes and a familiarity
with the area behind the wall or ceiling into
which you plan to install your speakers.
Install speaker wires before installing speak-
ers. Wire meeting appropriate building and
fire codes must be used. Use at least 18
gauge wire or heavier for the utmost in sound
quality. Wiring is best performed by an expe-
rienced professional. If you are in doubt that
you possess the necessary skills or tools,
consult your Polk Audio dealer, or a profes-
sional installer.

YOU WILL NEED:
• Pencil for marking the location
of installation.
• Keyhole saw, utility knife or material-
appropriate incising implement for
cutting drywall or other wall material.
• Level.
• Screwdriver, preferably powered,
with Phillips head bit.
• Power drill with appropriate bit
(optional, for starting wall cut).
PAINTING THE FRAME:
1. Apply paint to exposed unmasked parts.
Use two or more thin coats. Spray painting
is recommended
[figure 7]
.
2. When the paint is completely dry, remove
the masking material.
PAINTING THE GRILLE:
1. The grille of the TC
i
Series speaker fea-
tures an even, protective paint. This paint
is an ideal primer.
2. Grilles must be spray painted. Do not use
a brush and paint. Thick, brushed paint
may clog the grille holes.
FIGURE 8
Paint the grille. Use thin coats of spray paint.
Do not block grille holes with paint.
Pinte la rejilla. Aplique manos delgadas de pintura aerosol. No bloquee con
pintura los agujeros de la rejilla.
Peinturez la grille. Appliquez des couches minces de peinture aérosol.
N'obstruez pas les trous de la grille de peinture.
Streichen Sie den Gitteraufsatz. Verwenden Sie dazu dünne
Spritzlackschichten. Die Öffnungen des Gitteraufsatzes dürfen nicht mit Farbe
bzw. Lack blockiert werden.
3. After removing the grille by carefully hook-
ing it with a bent paper clip and pulling it
gently away from the frame, remove the
cloth scrim and spray on two thin coats of
finish color. If you’re using a compressor
and spray gun, use the finest, most diffuse
setting. Be careful not to fill the holes in
the grille with paint
[figure 8]
.
4. When the paint is completely dry, reinstall
scrim carefully, then reinstall the grille by
fitting it into its recess so that it is just
resting on the frame. Starting with one
corner, go around the speaker and push
the grille into the grille notch a little bit at
a time. Be gentle; the grille may be easily
bent out of shape by rough handling. You
will feel a positive “snap” when it is fully
in place.
