Installation and Wiring

The Bosch mounting system has been designed so that, if necessary, the installation can be done from beneath the ceiling. In some cases with a suspended ceiling grid, however, it may be easier to access from both the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during the installation process. Typical installation hardware needed for either suspended ceilings or sheetrock ceil- ings is included. The ceiling speaker assembly is held in place by mounting tabs that securely grip the ceil- ing material. Input wiring is attached to a removable terminal block connector that can be pre-wired if nec- essary before speaker installation to speed up the installation process.

Step 1: Cut the Hole (Figure 4)

For suspended tile or sheetrock ceilings, cut out the hole either by tracing the cardboard template or with a circular cutter set to the appropriate cutout size. If the wire has been pre-installed, pull the wiring through the cutout hole.

Step 2: Install C-Ring and/or Tile Rails (Figure 5)

All Bosch speakers come packaged with two types of backing hardware: a C-ring and two tile rails.

For suspended ceiling installations, insert the C-ring through the hole cut in the ceiling tile. Place the C-ring around the hole with the tabs located as shown in Figure 5. Insert the tile rails through the cut hole in the ceiling tile. Snap the two rails into the two tabs in the C-ring and align the rails so that the ends extend OVER the T-channel grid on the side of the tile. Secure the rails onto the C-ring tabs by inserting a screw though each tab into the rail, as shown in Figure 5.
