connections in black electrical tape to prevent any chance of the connec-
tion vibrating loose.
3. Stand the S55i in the stud bay, dress the wires so that they cannot rattle,
and screw the front board to the studs with drywall screws
The S55i has predrilled, countersunk screw holes so standard #8 dry wall
screws will sit with their heads below the surface, so they can be tapes
and spackled without any trace. A total of twelve (12) dry wall screws are
used.
The S55i should be supported or suspended in a manner that does not
subject it to twisting or torsional forces that would stress the enclosure.
The enclosure should never be forced against an irregular surface. If the
studs are curved or warped in an installation, the installer must insert
shims between the S55 front panel and the stud surfaces to avoid such
stresses, as would be the case for any in-wall loudspeaker.
4. Tape and spackle the seams
Note that there is a slight recess around the front edge of the S55i to facili-
ate taping and spackling, yielding a smooth result.
5. After everything has been painted, slice the paint along the edge of the
galvanized steel construction shield. Remove and discard the shield.
It is there simply to protect the inside of the S55i, and particularly the
woofers themselves, from being splattered with paint or contaminated
with construction debris. Once that purpose has been served, it needs to
be removed. A sharp utility knife can be used to break any paint that may
have adhered the cover to the face of the subwoofer.
6. Remove the grille from its protective sleeve and position so it lays flat
against the rubber magnet and wraps around its edges.
When properly positioned, the grille will be fully supported by the rubber
magent and cannot buzz or rattle.
