  • Page 7: Product Overview

    P r o d u c t O v e r v i e w The SC-IW (In-Wall) subwoofer can be installed in a variety of locations and positions in any given installation. Although this product is extremely versatile and flexible in its uses, it has been specifically designed for two major applications - New Construction Installations and Retro-Fit Installations in structures made of traditional 2x4 studs with 16 inch spacing, on-center.
  • Page 8 The SC-IW consists of two cabinets — the “driver module” and the “back box.” (a.k.a. the “Enclosure”). Unlike other in-wall products where a back box may be optional, the SC-IW requires both enclosures, unaltered, for every installation. In new construction situations, the back box is in installed first (for example, at the framing or rough out stage), and the driver module is installed later in the trim out stage.

  • Page 9: Installation Overview

    I n s ta l l a t i o n O v e r v i e w You must first decide how the SC-IW is to be installed — whether new or retrofit installation, and whether you are using the standard or designer grille. Remember that in all cases the grille can be painted to match the room’s de ´cor.

  • Page 10: New Construction Installation - Standard Grille

    Note: This installation process assumes that the installer has access to the open framed 2x4 studded wall with 16 inch spacing. In the event that the stud spacing is larger, an additional 2x4 or other spacer can be used to fill the space between the SC-IW back box and the neighboring stud.
  • Page 11 Once the mudring and the back box are aligned, install the back box as shown. Figure 2: Install Back Box w w w . v e l o d y n e . c o m SC-IW Installation Manual...
  • Page 12 Step 3 - Route Wire Route the wire from the location where the electronics gear is located to where the SC-IW will be. There is "extra space" between the studs and the back box in the event that the wire has to pass along the side of the back box to the driver module.
  • Page 13 Once the wall is finished, the installer must revisit the installation site and verify that the contractors have properly used the mudring as their guide leaving an opening that is approximately 16 1/2” x 13 1/4”. w w w . v e l o d y n e . c o m SC-IW Installation Manual...
  • Page 14 At this point, the mudring can be removed. It should be easily removed by "pulling it through" the drywall opening. After it is removed, discard. Figure 5: Remove Mudring w w w . v e l o d y n e . c o m SC-IW Installation Manual...

    Note: This installation process assumes that the installer has access to the open framed 2x4 studded wall with 16 inch spacing. (In the event that the stud spacing is larger, an additional 2x4 or other spacer can be used to fill the space between the SC-IW back box and the neighboring stud.)
  • Page 22 Step 2 - Mark Installation Location Measure from the bottom (or top if the SC-IW is to fire upwards) of the designer grille’s lowest (or highest) position 6 3/8” up along the stud and mark the stud in this location. This location will determine the bottom edge of the bracket on the driver module.
  • Page 23 Step 3 - Route Wire Route the wire from the location where the electronics gear is located to where the SC-IW will be. There is "extra space" between the studs and the back box in the event that the wire has to pass along the side of the back box to the driver module.
  • Page 24 Step 4 - Secure Subwoofer to Wall After the location has been determined, securely fasten the subwoofer to the studs. Velodyne provides 12 screws for this purpose. Figure 16: Secure Subwoofer w w w . v e l o d y n e . c o m...
  • Page 25 Step 5 - Connect Speaker Wire to Subwoofer Connect the previously routed speaker wire to the subwoofer taking care to match the positive wire to the red terminal and the negative wire to the black terminal. The spring loaded binding post will hold and secure the wire in place.
  • Page 26 Step 6 - Install Filler Panel Velodyne provides an MDF filler panel to fill the distance between the driver module and the drywall. This filler panel also acts as a guide for the standard grille. The filler panel easily installs using the four flat head screws and included allen wrench. Be sure to orientate the filler panel as shown such that the tapered edge faces way from the driver.
