Installation
Existing construction
• Before installing your loudspeakers, make sure that there is nothing obstructing the ceiling/wall, such as
air vents, and make sure that no cables will interfere with the installation. Use the appropriate tools to help
you determine the correct location.
• Make sure there is enough space to install your product in the ceiling/wall.
• Trace the outline of the speaker driver on the ceiling/wall using the cutout template supplied. Cut along
the trace using an appropriate tool to make a hole in the ceiling/wall ( fig. 13 ).
• You can only install your loudspeakers once you have wired them up. Make sure you leave enough cable
to allow you to wire up your loudspeakers with ease (approximately 20"/50cm).
