Mounting speakers in the ceiling

For stereo sound

Mount the speakers 6 to 10 feet apart. Each speaker should be the same

distance from the listening area. For detailed mounting instructions, see

“Ceiling mount instructions.”

For home theater sound

Mount the speakers 6 to 10 feet apart and 3 to 6 feet behind the

listening area. For detailed mounting instructions, see “Ceiling mount

instructions.”

Ceiling mount instructions

To mount the speakers in the ceiling:

1

Determine where you want to mount the speakers. The speakers

must be mounted in areas where there are no obstructions like

studs (joists). Tap the ceiling to find a “hollow” space, or use a stud

finder to locate the studs.

Note

: Make sure that your speaker wires are long enough to run from the

speakers to your audio equipment. If you plan to run the speaker wires

through the walls or ceiling, the wires must be UL or CL rated to ensure

your safety and to meet building code compliance.

2

Position the cardboard mounting template on the ceiling where

you want to mount a speaker, then trace around the template.

3

Drill a small hole in the center of the template outline you drew on

the ceiling.

4

Bend a piece of coat hanger wire, then insert the wire into the hole.

Slowly rotate the wire to check for any obstructions. If you find an

obstruction, patch the hole and find a new location for the speaker.

5

Using a keyhole or drywall saw, carefully cut the ceiling section you

outlined, then remove the section.

6

Run the wires from the speaker outputs on your audio equipment

to your speakers. Allow a few extra feet of wire so you will have

enough wire to strip the insulation and splice the wires.

Note

: Use high quality wire such as 16/4 speaker

wire. If you need to run the wires a long distance,

you can splice one or more lengths of wires

together.

7

(Optional) To improve speaker performance, insert unbacked

fiberglass insulation behind and around the speaker.

Warning

: To avoid personal injury, wear gloves when

inserting the insulation.
