Installing the Woofer Cabinet: Retrofit

The BPS-1 can be retrofit installed into a ceiling that has an attic or adequate crawlspace above it. Due to the variety of possible installation situations, it is not possible to recommend a single retrofit installation procedure. However, in any retrofit situation you should observe the following points to achieve a safe and noise-free installation:

•Before installing the BPS-1 in any retrofit situation: Review the section Installing The BPS-1 Cabinet In New Construction on pages 2 – 3 to become familiar with the installation procedure for new construction.

•Determine the location for the Architectural Series Panel Bracket and install it first (its location may be influenced by the locations of other AS speakers in the room). Then establish the location for the BPS-1 cabinet relative to the Panel Bracket. The vent end of the BPS-1 cabinet should be located 12" from the center of the Panel Bracket's speaker opening (see Figure 2, on page 2).

•When temporarily placing the BPS-1 cabinet in the ceiling bay before attaching it to the joist, take care to support it so that it does not break-through the ceiling material (The BPS-1 cabinet weighs 46 lbs.)

•Use the supplied drilling template to determine the locations of the mounting holes on the joist.

•Once the BPS-1 cabinet is attached to the joist, complete the installation by following the instructions in the Selecting The Proper Adaptor Baffle, Connecting The Vent Tube And Adaptor Baffle, Speaker Connections and Installing The Architectural Finish Component sections on pages 3 – 6.
