The installation of the C-10SW-KIT In-Ceiling Subwoofer involves mounting it directly to wooden frame construction members (ceiling joists and trusses) using the included mounting bracket. Here are the step-by-step instructions for installation:
1. Start by unpacking the MB-C10 and C-10SW components. The MB-C10 is the mounting bracket, and the C-10SW is the 10" woofer assembly.
2. Determine the appropriate set of steel mounting rails based on the spacing of your ceiling joists or trusses. There are two pairs of steel mounting rails included: one pair is 14.5" long for 16" on-center (OC) members, and the other pair is 22.5" long for 24" OC members. If you have 19.2" OC framing, you will need to purchase the separately available MBR-192 rails.
3. Attach the steel mounting rails to the ceiling joists or trusses using the provided screws. Use the 14.5" rails for 16" OC members and the 22.5" rails for 24" OC members. Ensure that the room-side of the rails is flush with the joists or trusses.
4. Mount the white plastic bracket to the appropriate set of rails using the shorter screws. Place the white plastic bracket in the middle position and tighten the screws.
5. Position the assembly between the ceiling joists or trusses and fasten it with the longer screws. Make sure that the room-side of the rails remains flush with the joists or trusses.
6. Leave the white film that covers the mounting opening in place until you are ready to install the C-10SW.
7. To install the C-10SW, remove the grille using the included Grille Removal Tool. Cut the white film out of the mounting bracket using a utility knife.
8. Connect the speaker wires to the C-10SW.
9. Hold the black steel installation handle of the C-10SW and place it up into the ceiling, aligning the speaker frame with the mounting bracket using the guides shown in Figure 4 of the manual.
10. Attach the C-10SW to the mounting bracket using the four black screws included with the subwoofer.
11. Remove the installation handle by loosening the two screws that hold it in place and turning it so that the xxxx heads pass through the keyhole openings.
12. Tighten the two screws that held the handle in place.
13. Attach the grille with the included spun cellulose insert. The white insert goes between the driver and the grille to improve the appearance.
Following these steps will ensure the proper installation of the C-10SW-KIT In-Ceiling Subwoofer. For more detailed information and illustrations, please refer to the OEM SYSTEMS COMPANY C-10SW-KIT In-Ceiling Sub-woofer Installation Guide.
