Steps to Installing

Before you make any holes

Be sure you have read and understand the considerations provided in “Preparation” starting

on page 5, so you can proceed with conﬁdence.

Installation is basically the same, whether you are using these speakers with a rectangular

grille or round grille and installing in a wall or ceiling. There are a few exceptions.

CAUTION: If you are unsure of your ability to complete this process, contact a professional

installer.

Allow 30 to 60 minutes to complete the steps that follow.

Drill a pilot hole for testing the wall space

Before you make a sizeable cut into the wallboard, check the space by probing behind

the wall or ceiling through a small pilot hole. Time spent now can help ensure a successful

installation.

Note: If you are working in an exterior wall where there is insulation, it may be difﬁcult to

probe behind a pilot hole. You may prefer to eliminate this step and skip ahead to “Prepare

the wall for inserting the speaker” starting on page 21. Do this only if you can be sure the

insulation is malleable and that nothing else behind the wall will impede the installation.

WARNING: If you believe the insulation behind the wall may be composed of asbestos,

do not drill or cut into that wall. Find a different location for the speakers instead.

Using the template for this ﬁrst step

You will need a sharp pencil for this step.

The template is designed to show where to drill two half-inch (13 mm) pilot holes ﬁrst, before

you make an opening large enough for the entire speaker. This allows you to probe behind the

wall to make sure your chosen location is spacious enough and there are no unseen materials

blocking the installation.

Notice the dotted lines extending at an angle from the pilot hole to the bottom corners of

the DO NOT CUT area on the template. Use them as a guideline for testing the area below the

pilot hole to make sure it is spacious enough behind the hole for the length and width of the

speaker enclosure.

To position the template

1. Select a spot on the wall or ceiling where you want the center of the speaker grille.

Tip: Remember to allow enough space for the speaker enclosure both above and below the

pilot hole. You may need that second option if you ﬁnd an impediment in the space below the

hole. This does not apply to exterior walls in cold climate regions, where upside-down

speaker installation is not recommended.

Wherever special instructions apply to ceiling or round-faced speaker installation, those

instructions will appear in a gray box, like this.

For ceiling installations, carefully consider how the position of the speaker enclosure

behind the wallboard affects the orientation of the Bose

logo on the speaker face. To main-

tain a consistent logo orientation, you can remove and rotate the speaker frame as needed

before inserting the speaker into the ceiling hole. See Figure 21 on page 20.
