Installation - W Box Technologies 0E-ICS8 Instruction Manual

Installation

SPEAKER WIRE
Pull one run of 16AWG stranded speaker wire from the amplifier
location to each speaker location. If in pre-wire, while the walls are
open and it's easy, pull extra wire to any location that may be desirable
to add speakers at a later date. Leave extra length of wire on each end
to allow making connections and installing/removing speakers.
Use the chart below to determine the proper gauge of wire, based upon
wire length from the amp to the speakers. If using volume controls,
include the total length from the amp to the volume control and then to
the speakers.
SPEAKER WIRE LENGTH
150' (46m)
400' (122m)
NEW CONSTRUCTION
W Box Technologies speaker installation can be simplified by using a W
Box Technologies new construction 0E-EZBRACKET, (sold separately).
This is installed prior to drywall installation and allows for precise
speaker placement and simplifies the final installation of the speaker.
EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
Speaker wire must be run from the equipment or volume control
location to each potential speaker location.
• Choose a location for each speaker that is free of obstructions
created by joists, HVAC duct-work, electrical wire runs, plumbing
or anything else that might not allow for the depth of the speaker or
create interference or noise.
