installed close to the floor and a minimum of 12" from any side wall. The unit should be
installed with the terminals facing upwards.
B) using the supplied template, cutout the appropriate opening to fit the unit into place.
Note: the Width of the Tribe In-wall 12 has been designed to fit perfectly between 2
stud bays (14" wide) and should be installed as such. The Tribe in-wall 8 comfortably fits
between 2 stud bays (12" wide) and should be positioned up against one stud bay.

Preferred method:
utilize 1 ¾" wood screws ( #8 or #10) secure the subwoofer directly into the wall studs with the STuD

installed on the open side, so the stud Openings may be incorporated on both sides.
The second method is to incorporate the wing clips. To incorporate the Wing clips turn the screw ½
