Installation Procedure Overview
• The speaker enclosure needs to be against joists or framing material on the
2 parallel sides that are to be fastened with the screws.
• The clearance required on outside ceiling surface is 1" around the cutout to
clear the speaker bezel. On inside surface, 1
clear lock arms on the sides that will not be fastened to the joists or framing

• Also note that the installation of the RCS II may require some modification
of the joist structure in your ceiling. This should only be done by a compe-
tent professional who will configure the studs to maintain their structural
integrity and make sure that everything is in compliance with all local and
state building code requirements.
• Speaker wire must be run inside your ceiling as part of the installation
process of in-wall loudspeakers. Plan the connection before you start your
