Mounting speakers in the ceiling

For stereo sound

Mount the speakers 6 to 10 feet apart. Each speaker should be the same distance from the listening area. For detailed mounting instructions, see “Ceiling mount instructions.”

For home theater sound

Mount the speakers 6 to 10 feet apart and 3 to 6 feet behind the listening area. For detailed mounting instructions, see“Ceiling mount instructions.”

Ceiling mount instructions

To mount the speakers in the ceiling:

1Determine where you want to mount the speakers. The speakers must be mounted in areas where there are no obstructions like studs (joists). Tap the ceiling to find a“hollow” space, or use a stud finder to locate the studs.

Note: Make sure that your speaker wires are long enough to run from the speakers to your audio equipment. If you plan to run the speaker wires through the walls or ceiling, the wires must be UL or CL rated to ensure your safety and to meet building code compliance.

4Bend a piece of coat hanger wire, then insert the wire into the hole. Slowly rotate the wire to check for any obstructions. If you find an obstruction, patch the hole and find a new location for the speaker.

5Using a keyhole or drywall saw, carefully cut the ceiling section you outlined, then remove the section.

6Run the wires from the speaker outputs on your audio equipment to your speakers. Allow a few extra feet of wire so you will have enough wire to strip the insulation and splice the wires.

Note: Use high quality wire such as 16/4 speaker wire. If you need to run the wires a long distance, you can splice one or more lengths of wires together.

7(Optional) To improve speaker performance, insert unbacked fiberglass insulation behind and around the speaker.

Warning: To avoid personal injury, wear gloves when inserting the insulation.
