TIPS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION

•If possible, run speaker wires after AC wiring is in place to avoid additional noise caused by close proximity of wiring.

•Secure the speaker wires against a joist with insulated staples, being careful not to pierce the wire insulation. Allow slack for building material expansion.

•Horizontal wire runs should be routed through holes drilled at equal heights in the joist.

•Do not install the actual speaker until the wall board is in place. Until then leave several feet of wire secured to the back of the mounting ring. The excess wire can be removed during final installation.

•During the drywall installation, make sure the speaker cut-out hole does not extend farther than 1/4 inch from the inside of the mounting ring. The flat rough-in rings and flaps are thin enough that they won’t interfere with wall board installation.
