PREPARING FOR

INSTALLATION

If you are installing the LSW-6/LSW-6.5 into an existing wall, take time to consider any possible obstructions, which may be hidden inside the wall: studs, electrical wiring, telephone wiring, plumbing, AC or heating conduit and ductwork.

Determine the best mounting locations based on the room layout. Before cutting any holes, make sure the area behind both speakers is clear for installation. Speakers provide the best coverage, when centered in the wall. Choose a suitable mounting height, and then line up both speakers approximately the same distance from the sidewall and ceiling boundaries.

Label the speaker wires at the amplifier location.

TOOLS REQUIRED

■Stud Locator (for existing construction)

■Drywall saw (for existing construction)

■Pencil (for existing construction)

■Cordless screwdriver with No2 Philips bit

INSTALLATION

Installation Existing

Construction:

1.Using your stud locator, identify the location of the studs on each side of the proposed speaker mounting location.

2.Mark their edges, using masking tape.

3.Repeat this process for the other speaker.

4.You may have to adjust the speaker mounting locations based on how symmetrical the studs are located, in the wall space.

5.Check for clearance using the following method.

a.Drill a 1/4” pilot hole in the center of the intended speaker location.

b.Cut a foot-long piece of coat hanger.

c.Bend the wire, creating a right angle, leaving 4-1/4” at one end.

d.Poke the “L-shaped” wire into the pilot hole and turn it in a complete circle, checking for obstructions.

e.Push it into the wall cavity to make sure you have approximately 4” of depth.

f.If the coat hanger movement is obstructed by anything, fill the hole(s) with spackle and try another location.

6.Locate the cutout template.

7.Use a pencil and the cutout template to trace the speaker outline in the desired locations on the wall.

8.Use a drywall saw to cut along the penciled line.

9.Slip the mounting bracket through the opening and pull it toward you so that its front edge slides into the hole and stops in place.
