INSTALLATION

Installation:

1.Place the Styrofoamblocks on the bottom plate of the stud bay. The S4SBB back box will rest on top of the blocks.

2.Install the two centering bars as shown in Detail A on page 6. The centering bars are for setting the depth of the enclosure. They also help locate the horizontal position of the enclosure as they are mounted into the studs at the left and right to hold the enclosure in the correct location.

3.Fit the enclosure into the wall. The bottom of the S4SBB back box will rest on top of the Styrofoam blocks 5 that you put on the baseboard two-by-four in Step 1.

4.At this time, you may want to screw through each side of the wood centering bars to mount the enclosure to the studs. This will hold the enclosure in position.

5.Install each of the ten bushings into their mounting holes 1. Insert one end of the rubber bushing into the hole, then place a flat washer on top of the bushing and screw the supplied 5" deck screw through the washer and into the bushing.

6.The enclosure is now installed and ready for the wallboard to be installed over it. Remove the wood centering bars and use the wood screws to close up the holes in the S4SBB back box. The drywall cutout dimensions are 24.55" (H) x 15" (W) (624mm x 381mm).

7.Insert the six plastic grille spacers into the large holes in the S4S baffle. Select either the small or large grille spacers, depending on whether your application requires one or two layers of wallboard. The grille spacers are inserted from the back side of the S4S baffle. Then insert the grille cups into the grille spacers from the front of the S4S baffle.

8.Make the connections from your receiver/amplifier to the S4SBB back box connections panel, and to any other speakers as appropriate for your system, following the instructions on pages 4–5. Connect the wires hanging in the opening of the S4SBB back box to the correct terminals on the S4S loudspeaker (see pages 4–5).

9.Install the S4S baffle into the S4SBB back box using the twelve screws, as shown in the illustration at right.

10.The grille pegs mount in the grille cups to complete the installation.
