3 Installation in-ceiling

The speaker will t between joists with standard

40cm (16in) or greater spacing, such that the visible

louvre straddles the gap between them. A clearance

of 25cm (10in) or greater behind the underside face

of the joists is required.

Mark the centre line of the desired louvre position on

the underside face of the joists at each side. Make

two further marks on both joists at approximately

75mm (3in) and 380mm (15in) from the louvre centre

line for the cabinet support brackets (Figure 6).

Screw the four L-brackets (g) as shown to the inside

vertical faces of the joists (screws not supplied),

ensuring the brackets are square and ush with the

underside face of the joists.

Run appropriate gauge speaker cable to the

installation point. Secure it to the joists so it cannot

rattle, with the nal tie point close to the marked

louvre centre line near the top of the joist. Leave

approximately 30cm – 50cm (12in - 20in) free at the

end (Figure 7).

Attach the support bar (j) to the cowl using the

three No.6 x 25mm screws (m) and pre-drilled holes

(Figure 8).

Remove the backing paper and apply the two

self-adhesive gasket strips (f), one to the support bar

and one to the cabinet at the other side of the louvre

frame. These will bear on the drywall panel to avoid

rattles (Figure 9).

Lift the speaker to rest as shown on the four

L-brackets. If the joist spacing is too great to allow

screwing through the brackets into the cabinet, a

custom support method will need to be applied by

the installer.

Line the centre of the louvre aperture with the marks

on the joists and square it up relative to the walls.

Fix the cabinet position, using the No.8 x 12mm

self-tapping screws (h) through the L-brackets into

the cabinet (Figure 10).

The louvre frame will protrude below the bottom face

of the joists.

Strip the ends of the cable and connect to the spring

terminals on the cabinet, observing correct polarity.

To prevent rattles, secure the excess cable using the

cable tie attached to the subwoofer (Figure 11).

ENGLISH

Use the cut-out template (e) to mark the aperture on

the drywall panel. The six protrusions correspond

to the outer dimensions of the louvre fascia and are

provided to indicate necessary clearance. Do not

mark round these protrusions, but rather along the

dotted lines that cross them (Figure 12).

At this point, you may apply exible mastic to the

face of the subwoofer cabinet to prevent rattles

against the ceiling panel.

Fit the frywall panels to the ceiling joists (Figure 13)

and apply the nal skim coat.

Paint the ceiling at this stage and, if desired, paint

the louvre fascia moulding (b) to match. The part will

take all normal wall paints.

Attach the louvre (c) to the front of the opening

and secure it to the louvre frame using the two M3

machine screws (i) through the two bars. Do not

over-tighten. There should be slight bending tension

in the two louvre bars, but the surround should not

be distorted or the fascia will not t correctly.

Clip the fascia (b) to the louvre (c) (Figure 14).

4 Installation in-wall

The subwoofer is too deep to t into a standard

nominal 100mm (4in) thick wall, but may be tted

into custom furniture or closet that accommodates

its depth and that has studs with standard 40cm

(16in) or greater spacing.

In most situations, the visible louvre will be required

to be low on the wall, just above the skirting board.

In that case, the cabinet will be oriented with the

cowl at the bottom.

On the front face of the studs each side of the

subwoofer, draw a horizontal line marking where the

centre line of the louvre fascia should be (Figure 15).

Run appropriate gauge speaker cable to the

installation point. Secure it to the studs so it cannot

rattle, with the nal tie point close to the marked

louvre centre line. Leave approximately 30cm –

50cm (12in - 20in) free at the end (Figure 16).

Screw the four L-brackets (g) to the sides of the

subwoofer cabinet as shown using two No.8 x

12mm (0.5in) screws (h) per bracket. (Figure 17)

The vertical position of the brackets is not critical,

but make sure they are ush with the front of the

cabinet.

It is not essential, but it is easier to t the subwoofer

if you support it temporarily underneath to bring the

louvre to the correct height.

Slide the subwoofer into the desired mounting

position (Figure 18).

Mark the outline of the brackets on the front of the

studs. (Figure 19)

Then remove the subwoofer and rebate the studs

between the mark lines as shown to a depth of

2mm (0.08 in) so that the brackets do not bulge the

drywall panel when tted (Figure 20).

Screw the support bar (j) to the top of the cowl as

shown using the three No.6 x 25mm (1in) screws (m)

into the pre-drilled pilot holes (Figure 21).

Remove the backing paper and apply the two self-

adhesive gasket strips (f), one to the support bar

and one to the cabinet at the other side of the louvre

frame. These will bear on the drywall panel to avoid

rattles (Figure 22).

Bring the subwoofer close to its intended position.

Strip the ends of the cable and connect it to the

spring terminals, observing the correct polarity. Then

secure the cable to the cowl using the cable tie to

prevent rattles (Figure 23).

Using the support block if required, offer the

subwoofer into position, with the support brackets

sitting in the rebates in the studs. Screw the

brackets to the studs (screws not supplied)

(Figure 24).

When secure, you may remove the temporary

support block.

Use the cut-out template (e) to mark the aperture on

the drywall panel. The six protrusions correspond

to the outer dimensions of the louvre fascia and are

provided to indicate necessary clearance. Do not

mark round these protrusions, but rather along the

dotted lines that cross them (Figure 25).

At this point, you may apply exible mastic to the

face of the subwoofer cabinet to prevent rattles

against the drywall panel.

Fit the frywall panels to the studs (Figure 26) and

apply the nal skim coat.

Paint the wall at this stage and, if desired, paint the

louvre fascia moulding (b) to match. The part will

take all normal wall paints.

Attach the louvre (c) to the front of the opening

and secure it to the louvre frame using the two M3

machine screws (i) through the two bars. Do not

over-tighten. There should be slight bending tension

in the two louvre bars, but the surround should not

be distorted or the fascia will not t correctly.

Clip the fascia (b) to the louvre (c) (Figure 27).

5 Installation under the oor

The speaker will t between joists with standard

40cm (16in) or greater spacing, such that the visible

louvre straddles the gap between them. A clearance

of 25cm (10in) or greater behind the top of the joists

is required.

The product is not recommended if the oor is to

be covered by a thick carpet. Very short pile carpet,

such as carpet tiles, may be accommodated with

care.

Mark the centre line of the desired louvre position on

the top face of the joists at each side (Figure 28).

Run appropriate gauge speaker cable to the

installation point. Secure it to the joists so it cannot

rattle, with the nal tie point close to the marked

louvre centre line near the bottom of the joist. Leave

approximately 30cm – 50cm (12in - 20in) free at the

end (Figure 29).

Attach the four support brackets to the sides of the

cabinet as shown, using two No.8 x 12mm screws

(h) per bracket. The lateral position of the brackets is

not critical, but ensure they are set ush with the top

surface of the cabinet when the cowl opening faces

upwards.

Lay the speaker between the joists, supported by

the brackets overlapping the joists (Figure 31).

If the joist spacing is too great to allow screwing

through the brackets into the joists, a custom

support method will need to be applied by the

installer.

Align the louvre frame with the marks on the beams,

making sure it is square to the wall and mark the

outline of the brackets on the joists.

Remove the subwoofer and rebate the joists to

a depth of 2mm (0.08 in) to accommodate the

thickness of the brackets (Figure 32).

Screw the support bar (j) to the top of the cowl as

shown using the three No.6 x 25mm (1in) screws (m)

into the pre-drilled pilot holes (Figure 33).

Remove the backing paper and apply the two self-

adhesive gasket strips (f), one to the support bar

and one to the cabinet at the other side of the louvre

frame. These will bear on the oor boarding to avoid

rattles (Figure 34).

Bring the subwoofer close to its intended position.

Strip the ends of the cable and connect it to the

spring terminals, observing the correct polarity. Then

secure the cable to the cowl using the cable tie to

prevent rattles (Figure 35).

Place the subwoofer in position, with the brackets

resting in the rebates, and secure it to the joists by

screwing through the support brackets (screws not

supplied) (Figure 36).
