SPK-C613 - Installing the Open-back Ceiling Speakers 7
7
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.
The open-back ceiling speakers are supported by the ceiling mounting kit (two
C-rings and two pairs of tile rails. The tile rails prevent the speakers from falling if
the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as their ends catch onto the T-grid). When
mounting onto the ceiling tiles, use both supports.
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.
5.3 Mounting the Open Back Ceiling Speakers
To mount the Open-back Ceiling speakers, do the following:
1. Remove the grille over the speakers by inserting a paper clip into one of the
grille openings and pulling it upward.
2. Position the mounting tabs (see
Figure 3) inward.
