RCC320 PRE-CONSTRUCTION SUBWOOFER MODULE (RCC320-PC)
The RCC320-PC was designed be installed into a 2 x 4 stud wall with a minimum of 16” on center spacing
before the drywall is applied to the stud wall. The subwoofer 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 near the same wall the front channels are located, 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.
INSTALLATION OF PRE-CONSTRUCTION MODULE INTO OPEN WALL CAVITY
1. The module comes with the Pre-Construction Paint/Debris Shield in place. DO NOT REMOVE this shield
until after the room painting is completed and the environment is free of dust.
2. The subwoofer can be installed with the slot opening horizontal or vertical.
a. For horizontal installations, use the 8 Mounting Screws to attach the 4 L-Shaped Mounting Brackets to
the tapped holes in the aluminum sides of the cabinet. Adjust the brackets to span the width of the
inner distance. Install into the stud bay using galvanized screw hardware. SEE FIGURE 1.
i. If you would like the horizontal slotted opening to sit as close to the finished floor as possible.
Attach to the inserts in the plastic end cap to attach both screws to the cabinet to one slot in the
bracket. The studs should be notched out the 3 mm thickness of the bracket to sit flush with the
stud face. SEE FIGURE 2.
b. For vertical installations, use the 8 Mounting Screws to attach the 4 L-Shaped Mounting Brackets to the
screw thread inserts in the plastic ends of the cabinet. SEE FIGURE 3. Install into the stud bay using
galvanized screw hardware.
c. NOTE: When installing the module be sure to align the front of the cabinet with the front edge of the
stud.
3. Using a 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. After the wallboard has been installed, un-cover the slot opening by removing the four screws that retain
the Paint Shield.
5. The RCC320-PC can be used with wallboard thicknesses of 12.5 mm – 25.4mm (0.5” – 1.0”) thick. The
module comes configured for 12.5 mm (0.5”) wall thickness. The magnet strip should be 3 mm (1/8”)
above the surface of the finished wall.
6. If the room has a thicker wallboard, or multiple layers, utilize the included plastic Grille Spacers. Remove
the magnet strips by removing the 8 mounting screws and add the required spacing underneath. When
using 3 or 4 spacers use the included longer length screws to accommodate the greater thickness. NOTE:
If your combined wallboard thickness is larger than 1.0”, then please contact Artison for additional Grille
Spacers.
