In the event you need troubleshooting assistance, please call our technical staff at 1-800-366-9422. Step 1 Determine speaker location and mark your plans for future reference. These speakers DO NOT use mounting rings. Each speaker should be mounted at least 2' from the walls, if ceiling mounted or at least 2' from the ceiling, if wall mounted. DO NOT mount speakers in outside walls. Step 2 Run a 16 gauge 2 conductor cable, such as MS16X5 for the SA8/ SACS10, or a MS2XSC for the NR8M/FMC8, from the volume control to the speaker location. Be sure that you secure the wire (DO NOT USE STAPLES) and leave enough wire for the speaker connection. Step 3 For speakers being installed in ceiling applications, some type of protection will be required for the back of the speaker if blown insulation is used. The following is a partial list of ways to protect the speaker: • Use a piece of wood that will cover at least 3' on either side of the speaker opening. The ends may need to be partially closed to keep the blown insulation from reaching the speaker, however, a gap of 2" at each end is better than a sealed box. • Use a piece of bat insulation at least 3" thick over the back of the speaker. This insulation should not have a backing or if it does, the backing must be installed facing away from the speaker. • Use a fine screen mesh to cover the back of the speaker to protect against bulk type insulation materials. This will not work with an insulation containing a fine powder.
