Installation
1. Cut a hole of the proper size for the loudspeaker using the supplied template.
2. Fill the loudspeaker cavity loosely with standard pink fiberglass.
3. Remove the loudspeaker from the plastic packaging.
4. Remove the black outer rubber covers on the sides of the front panel to reveal
the 1/8" Allen-Key screws to the dog-toggles.
5. Connect the loudspeaker cable and connectors to the loudspeaker. If new
construction brackets were installed during the construction phase of the project
pull the cable out and connect the crimp on connectors. If not, run the proper
cable and then connect the loudspeaker wires via the crimp-on connectors.
6. Insert the loudspeaker in the cavity.
7. Using the supplied 1/8" Allen-Key bit in a medium clutched screw gun, engage
the dog-toggles and tighten.
8. Insert the bottom and top edges of the grille into the end caps - the grille will
buckle in the middle. Gradually insert the side edges of the grille into the grille
slots located on the side edges of the speaker. Insert the grille simultaneously
from the top and bottom to the middle of the grille and speaker.
9. Test the loudspeaker.
Installation notes: R-88 in-wall subwoofers should be installed in stud cavities
adjacent to the R-800, preferably symmetrical to the listening position. The preferable
position is closer to the corners of the room on the outer sides of the R800s. Placing
the R-88Subs closer to the corners will result in fuller bass. FIG.2 and FIG.3 shows
R-88 Subs inside of R-800s for space saving and better scaling. However if the
room's size does not permit the R-88Sub to be placed in the corner while keeping the
R-800's spacing at minimum of 8 feet (see FIG.1 distance D), we recommend
positioning the subwoofers as shown on FIG.2 and FIG.3. Proper distance between
the R-800s should be the priority. The R-400C center channel speaker has a
preferred top side: refer to the rear panel.
