Installation
NOTE: These instructions assume the mounting surface is of standard wood frame and standard
sheet rock construction. If you wish to mount the speakers to another type of material you should
contact a bonded contractor.
NOTE: See your local dealer for new construction pre-install brackets (sold separately).
NOTE: While it is possible to use a manual screwdriver for installation, we strongly suggest using
a power drill. To avoid damaging or breaking the clamps, set your drill to a LOW setting. A high
power setting is NOT necessary and may cause clamps to crack or break from the added force.
Such damage is not covered under warranty.
WARNING! Before installing check local building codes to verify compliance with
local regulations. WARNING! Before installing check for obstructions behind dry-
wall. To do this make a small hole, cutting at a 45° angle (this will make the hole
easier to patch if obstructions are found). Only cut out the mounting hole after you
have verified there are no obstructions behind the dry wall. WARNING! Use only
speaker cable that is rated for in-wall use. The UL standard is CL2, CL3, and CM.
The CSA standard is FT4. WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making or
breaking any signal connections.
Recommended tools:
• Stud finder
• Sharp pencil or pen
• Dry wall knife/saw
• Wire strippers
• Power drill with
Phillips screwdriver
• Tape measure
• Low-tack tape
1. If the template has a removable center, remove it at this time.
2. Using a stud finder, position the template completely between wall studs or ceiling joists.
IC3, IC3-AW, IC6-HT: Install in-ceiling only.
3. Hold or tape the template in place and mark cutout with a pencil. For rectangular speakers,
level the template before marking (Figs. 5a, 6a.1, & 6a.2).
4. Remove the template and cut out the opening with a drywall knife (Figs. 5b & 6b).
5. In-wall: If desired, place fiberglass insulation above and below the cut-out hole. Place a half
thick piece of fiberglass insulation behind the speaker. In-ceiling: If desired, place fiberglass
insulation 12" (30cm) or thicker between the joists directly above the speaker.
6. Connect speaker cables. Be consistent when connecting the speaker leads to the terminals.
