Install Rear Surround Speakers
Rear speakers are usually placed in the rear wall. If the speakers cannot be
mounted in a rear wall, they are mounted in the ceiling. There are two options
for ceiling mounting: Option 1: Seating area is within 16 feet of the back wall,
or Option 2: There is an interrupted back wall or seating area is farther than 16
feet from the back wall. See illustrations below for mounting instructions and ceiling
mounting options. Speaker wire should have been run by the builder from the
audio/video component rack area to the speaker location.
1. Connect speaker wires to left and right rear speakers making note of how the
right (+ and –) and left (+ and –) wires are connected.
2. Tilt speaker into opening until it is flush against the wall or ceiling.
3. Use the two #8 x 1-1/2" Phillips panhead screws supplied with the speaker to
screw the inner side of the speaker to the stud. Flippers are provided for the
side of the speaker if no stud is available.
4. If speaker is in ceiling, use screws to mount speaker to framing.
5. Attach the grill frame to the speakers using the four #6 x 3/8" Phillips
panhead screws supplied with the speaker.
6. Carefully push perforated
steel grill into grill frame. If
grill does not fit tightly into
the frame, use pliers to gently
bend the edge (or lip) of the
frame out slightly as shown.
