RCC320 RETROFIT SUBWOOFER MODULE (RCC320-R)
The RCC320-R was designed be installed into a 2 x 4 stud wall with a minimum of 16” on center spacing. The
subwoofer module is not impacted by cabinet orientation and can be used either vertically or horizontally. The
classical rule for subwoofer placement is that the subwoofer should be placed on the same wall the front
channels are located, positioned at one-third of the total distance of the wall. When using multiple subwoofers,
consult with your dealer or custom installer for best placement options.
The minimum mounting depth for the RCC320-R is 97.5 mm (3.8”), i.e. a 2x4 stud is 3.5” deep, plus 1 layer of
0.5” or 0.625” thick drywall. The maximum drywall thickness the RCC320-R can dog clamps can accept is 41
mm (1.6”).
INSTALLATION OF RETROFIT MODULE
1. Use the provided Cut-out Template to mark the desired wall location. The cut out dimensions are
344 mm (13.6”) H x 363 mm (14.3”) W.
2. Use a stud finder to check the location and make a small exploratory hole first to be sure that no piping,
wall studs, or electrical wires will interfere with the placement of the module.
3. Using 2 conductor speaker wire, run between the subwoofer amplifier and the subwoofer module. Use 16
gauge stranded speaker wire for run lengths under 15 m (50’) and 14 gauge for runs over 15 m (50’).
4. Once the hole is cut and test fitted with the module. Connect the bare speaker wire ends to the spring-
loaded binding posts. Be sure to orient the terminal cup towards the direction the speaker wire comes, as
there will not be room to manage the speaker wire behind the module.
5. Install the RCC320-R into the cut-out m ade in the wall and carefully tighten the four dog leg clamps on the
RCC320-R using a #2 Philips Head. If using an electric screwdriver, be sure to use a low to medium
torque setting.
6. The grille for the RCC320-R is held in place by magnets. Simply position the grille over the front of the
module.
PAINTING THE GRILLE & TRIM RING
1. The Grille and Trim Ring can be painted separately from the rest of the subwoofer module.
2. Be sure to carefully remove the thin fabric scrim cloth from the interior of the grille. The scrim is not to be
painted. Replace scrim cloth after painting is completely dry. If the scrim does not adhere to the grille, use
a spray adhesive to reattach.
3. DO NOT get paint on the speaker baffle or speakers. Paint can damage these components which
would VOID your Warranty.
