INSTALLATION

A complete S4S loudspeaker system includes the S4S in-wall subwoofer and the S4SBB back box. These compo- nents are packaged separately.

NOTE: The THX Ultra2 standard requires that the S4S baffle be mounted vertically.

Installation requires access to the space between the wall studs. Therefore, in new-construction applications, the S4SBB back box is installed before the wallboard.

For existing construction, carefully remove a section of wallboard that reveals the studs on either side of the bay where the back box will be installed, enabling the board to be screwed back onto the studs after installation is complete. Store the wallboard in a safe place until the speaker installation is complete.

5" deck screws

 

(10) polyurethane bushings

1/4–20 flat washers

0Terminal Cup: Connect the speaker wires from your subwoofer amplifier to these terminals.

1 Mounting Holes for Bushings: The S4S uses a system of bushings to 1

act as springs that isolate the speaker from room and wall vibrations. Mount the bushings in each of these holes as described in Step 5 on page 7.

2 Damping Pads: These pads are part of the isolation system to prevent unwanted resonances. They should be left in place as is.

3Centering Bars: Screw these bars onto the S4SBB back box using the included flat-head screws, and then attach them to the wall studs to hold

the S4SBB in place during installation.
