EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION

1)Determine the location for the installed speaker. Use a stud-finder to locate the studs behind the wall. It is a good idea to use a voltage detector to determine if any live wiring is in the area. Typically an electrical or switch outlet will identify the location of a stud. The adjacent stud may be 12, 16 or 24 inches apart.

2)Using the included mounting template, draw an outline of the area that will be removed. The outline should at least 2 to 3 inches away from a stud. This will allow the proper clearance for the dog-ears. For applications where the speaker frame must be against a stud, the speaker frame has an area on each leg where direct-to-stud mounting can be applied. It is a good idea to use level to be sure the rectangular outline is level. Drill a small pilot hole to allow probe entry.

3)Use a stiff wire to probe inside the wall. Use this probe to check for obstruction such as pipes. The probe can also be used to verify the depth is adequate for the installed speaker.

4)Use a dry-wall saw or a jig-saw to slowing remove the outlined area. Place the speaker in the cavity to verify the fit and level is correct. It is recommended to loosely fill the cavity with fire- rated fiberglass insulation. This will prevent unwanted sound to adjacent rooms. Filling the cavity also enhances the performance of the speaker system.
