Placement
Plan your speaker placement carefully. Make certain that electrical, plumbing and any other services will not interfere within the ceiling where you plan to place your speakers. The AC6CD speaker can be mounted in the walls or in the ceiling, but are typically used in ceilings. The speaker should be located so that it provides even coverage at your listening position. Caution should be taken not to place the speaker less than 1 foot from a bounding surface, such as a wall or corner to prevent uneven reflections of the audio signal. (See Fig. 1)

Existing Construction
In most modern buildings the ceiling joists are positioned on 16” centers, providing a space between the joists of approximately 143/8”. The AC6CD speaker requires a mounting hole 7“ in diameter. Additionally, you should allow an extra 3/4” clearance in all directions behind the ceiling surface to allow room for the doglegs that retain the frame to the ceiling surface to swing into position.
Use a stud finder to locate the joists behind the ceiling surface. Also, you should now check for obstructions like cross bracing in front of and behind the desired speaker location.
