What's included with the C165SS?

- 1 x C165SS Ceiling Speaker.
Installation Instructions
Last updated: January 19, 2023 01:55. Revision #8398
- Firstly, remove the cardboard pad from inside the supplied template to mark the position for the mounting hole at the selected location.
- Before cutting ceiling speaker holes, it is suggested that the area is tested for clearance by making an L-shaped probe from strong wire (see illustration below), drilling a small hole in the target area, inserting the probe and slowly turning. Any obstructions will be immediately obvious, and the target area can be moved to a more suitable position.
- Cut the mounting hole with a drywall, or keyhole saw. Be sure the mounting surface is between 10 and 30mm (0.39 - 1.18") thick, and that there is at least 93mm(3.74") of clearance behind the mounting surface.
- Use 16 gauge minimum speaker cable to connect between your amplifier and your speakers. Ensure that speaker cables are routed away from any electrical cables and that any amplifiers/sources are switched off during installation.
- Use a wire stripper to strip 10mm of insulation from the end of each speaker cable and twist the strands together.
- When connecting speakers pay extra attention to polarity ensuring that red (+) terminals on your amplifier are connected to the red (+) terminals on your speakers, and that the black (-) terminals on your amplifier are connected to the black (-) terminals on your speakers.
-
Ensure that the four fixing screws on the speaker are slackened off allowing the mounting dog-legs to move freely. Move each dog-leg foot to the LEFT into its holding slot and then line the speaker up in the mounting hole.
-
With the speaker in the mounting hole use a cross-head screwdriver to slowly turn each fixing screw clockwise, moving the dog-legs out of their slots. Tighten these screws until the dog-legs grip the ceiling.
Note: Please check with your builder/installer whether you need to install a fire hood with this product. "Low smoke/zero halogen" specification Speaker cable may also be required.
