Galil 8-CO - Installing the Open-back Ceiling Speakers
5.2 Cutting the Ceiling Tile
To cut the ceiling tile, do the following:
1. Remove the circle in the supplied template.
Keep this template for later use as a mask, as you may want to paint the speakers (see
Section 5.4)
2. Mark the opening in the correct location by tracing the hole in the template.
3. Cut out the hole according to the template or with a circular cutter set to the
appropriate cutout size.
Initially, you can cut a smaller area inside the marked hole just to be sure that the
space above the speakers is clear
4. Route the wiring from the amplifier to the speakers’ cutout holes, taking care
not to place them next to electrical wires or at least at a distance of about
two feet from an AC line.
Do not nail or staple the speaker wires.
If you are mounting the speakers onto a ceiling tile, remove the ceiling tiles where
you plan to install the speakers. Use the template to trace and then cutout the
speaker hole over an empty box.
Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or
fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers.
When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support.
When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to reinforce the
ceiling material.
