MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110TB
7)In this photo (Fig. 15) we have removed the threaded rod, and installed eyebolts with backing nuts into the couplers, as described earlier. Detail of the connection with wire rope is shown in (Fig. 8), which is identical top and bottom. Take measurements to approximate the lengths of rope you will need. It might be convenient to make some, or perhaps all of your wire ropes on the ground, and use a quick link (Fig. 7) on each end to connect between both the suspension point and at the subwoofer. Again, it is important to follow local code and regulations for use of wire rope in overhead suspension. Check with your supplier for additional instructions on its use.
8)Once two installers have raised the subwoofer to the ropes and the sub is safely suspended, it can be leveled by adjusting the rope lengths. Check for even tension on all ropes, and note that it is much easier to let some wire slip out of the tighter ropes, rather than trying to pull up and tighten the loose ropes. Once the subwoofer is level, the installation is complete.
