In-Wall Loudspeaker Installation Guide
3. Complete the pre-wiring to the speaker brackets before the drywall goes up. Leave an extra few feet of speaker wire on each end to
make your life easier later. Coil the excess and tack it carefully to an adjacent wall stud or ceiling joist for easy retrieval during speaker
installation. You can be clever here.
4. During the drywall installation, cut the drywall so it butts up to the protruding lip of the mounting bracket, as you would cut out for a
ceiling light can or “J” box. (Once installed, the lip of the speaker chassis will extend about ½ inch beyond the perimeter of the bracket
lip to hide minor imperfections in the cutout.) (fig.5 ).
5. After the wall and ceiling trim work is installed and the painting is complete, but just before the carpet or flooring is installed, install
the speaker by first connecting the speaker wire to the spring posts on the back of the speaker assembly, making sure to observe cor-
rect polarity – red (+), black (-).
