IWCB Series In-Wall Closed Box Speakers

Speaker Connection and Assembly

The clamping mechanism allows the wall material to range from ½ to 1½ inches (13 to 38 mm) in thickness. There must be a mini- mum depth behind the wall face of 3 5⁄8” (92 mm).As noted above, be sure to keep the edges of the cutout at least ½ inch (13 mm) away from any stud or obstruc- tion, as the rotating clamps will not operate properly if you don’t. The speaker enclosure (the black box with the drivers mounted in it) is designed to mount into the white frame, after the frame is mounted into the wall.

Insert the frame into the cutout and using a level or square carefully align it so it is level. Tighten the mounting screws, which will cause the attached clamps to rotate and position themselves properly behind the wall.

Continue to tighten until the frame is snug in the wall.You want the bezel to conform to the wallboard,and the frame not to rattle from the speaker’s vibration, but be very careful not to overtighten the screws.

Painting the Speaker Assembly

The white plastic frame and the metal grille may be left as is, or painted to match your décor. You can paint the frame before or after it is installed in the wall. Spray painting (using slightly thinned paint) is the best method to use for painting the grille. After painting the grille, use air pressure to“blow out” any grille holes that are ﬁlled in with paint.

Strip about ½” (13 mm) of insulation from the connecting wires. Connect them to the appropriate push terminal, being careful to observe polarity (positive to the red terminal, negative to the black terminal).

Installing the Speaker Enclosure into the Frame

Once the frame is mounted in the wall,the speaker enclosure simply ﬁts into the frame.Note that there is a foam anti-vibration pad afﬁxed to the rear panel of the enclosure.This pad will eliminate any slight vibrations that occur if the back of the speaker enclosure contacts the wallboard in the wall cavity.Due to the usual slight dimensional variances in home construction,the IWCB either may or may not contact the wall surface behind it.

Use the included screws to attach the enclosure to the mounting frame,but be very careful not to overtighten the screws.
