SW10JM IN-CEILING/IN-FLOOR INSTALLATION

SW10JM IN-CEILING/IN-FLOOR INSTALLATION

The SW10JM subwoofer mounts directly to ceilings or sub-ﬂoors between joists and accommodates both 16" and 24" on-center joist construction. The included cardboard template matches the dimensions of the SW10JM and is used to position the subwoofer, the 2 X 4s that will support the subwoofer, and for marking the 4 pilot holes for cutting out an opening for the grille.

Be sure to mount the SW10JM securely to the floor/ceiling, as the bass output could cause unwanted vibration if the SW10JM is able to move. Be sure the joists to which the SW10JM are mounted are securely braced against each other so that the distance between them does not change and they are not able to move or shift. Always consult local building codes before installation.

Installing the SW10JM will require cutting pieces of drywall or ﬂoor surfaces. If you are not comfortable or experienced with precision drywall, we recommend consulting a professional contractor or custom installation professional.

NOTE: IF THE SUBWOOFER GRILLES ARE TO BE PAINTED TO MATCH THE NEW CEILING OR FLOOR COLOR, THEY MUST BE PAINTED BEFORE THE UNIT IS INSTALLED.
