Installation in New
Construction
Stage One: Before Drywall is Hung Insulating the Wall Cavity.
If feasible, fill the wall cavity with insulation at this point.
Mounting The Model 8 series New Construction Bracket
The hole saving bracket enables a faster and cleaner final installation of the speaker. It forces the drywall installer to cut out the speaker hole for you and provides wire ties for the speaker wire, reducing the risks of accidental loss or movement of the wire. In addition, it enables you to align your speak- ers with other ceiling fixtures with great accuracy since you can really see exactly where the speaker will be.
To install the bracket, first attach the QuickSnap™ new construction wings to the bracket by snapping them into the sides of the bracket. The wings can be shortened by breaking them along the scored lines if their length will interfere with a corner or eaves.
The wings and brackets have centering lines to simplify the placement of the speaker.
Screw one side of the assembled bracket with wings to the joist using one of the supplied screws. Level the bracket. Screw the other side of the bracket/wing assem- bly to the joist. Two screws on each side makes for a very secure installation. Secure the wire to the bracket using the bracket’s wire tie (See Figure 15). The drywall installers will cut the drywall to the exact size of the bracket.
