Sure! Here are the step-by-step instructions for installing the Proficient Audio Systems C645 Kevlar Ceiling Speakers:
1. Speaker Placement: Determine the best location for your speakers, ideally above the primary listening area. Adjust the pivoting tweeters to point towards the primary listening area if the speakers are positioned far away.
2. Mounting Surface Preparation:
- New Construction - Unfinished Ceilings: Install a Pre-Construction Bracket across joists where the speaker will be located. After drywall installation, follow the instructions for mounting in "Finished Ceilings" below.
- Finished Ceilings: Run cables to the speaker locations before installation. Ensure the area is free of obstructions like electrical conduit or HVAC ducts. Use a stud-finder tool to locate the joists nearest the mounting location.
3. Mark and Cut the Hole:
- Use the provided template to mark the hole on the ceiling.
- Start by cutting a small hole in the center of the marked area at a 45-degree angle towards the inside of the hole. This allows for easier drywall repair if there are any obstructions.
- Once you've confirmed no obstructions, cut the finished hole at a 90-degree angle to the ceiling surface.
4. Add Insulation: If the ceiling area is not already insulated, add insulation material to loosely cover the back of the speaker. Ensure that any faced insulation is positioned away from the speaker.
5. Speaker Adjustments: The speakers come with the tweeter facing straight out from the baffle for the smoothest response. However, you can adjust the tweeter direction by gently pushing at the edge of the tweeter to point it in the desired direction.
6. Speaker Installation:
- Remove the grille by pushing the mounting screws and attached foot towards the baffle to release the grille.
- Attach the speaker cable, ensuring proper polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Turn the mounting feet inward and insert the speaker into the ceiling hole.
- Tighten the four screws on the front of the baffle enough to make the flange snug against the ceiling. The feet will automatically flip outward, clamping the drywall between the feet and the flange.
- Push the grille firmly into the slot in the speaker baffle.
