MOS36SUB Mounting Steps
1. Mount temporary holders to ceiling joists.
Cut a couple of 2” x 4”s or 1” x 4”s, a few inches wider than the ceiling joists. Then with a couple of drywall screws, mount the temporary holders to the joists. (Drywall screws not included).
These temporary holders will help you hold up the MOS36SUB and make the speaker mount flush to the future drywall. Using a level, check that your temporary holders are evenly level, adjusting as needed.
2. Adjust the rails, as neccessary, to fit ceiling joists.
Place the MOS36SUB in the desired final location.
Ensure the rail ends are turned outwards.
Then, using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screws on each side of the system rails, and extend them so they reach the ceiling joists. Afterwards, make sure to re-tighten screws once the rail length matches the ceiling joists.
NOTE: The cabinet also has screw openings on the short sides so you can move the rails from the long side to the short sides for tight space installations.
3. Securely fix the rail brackets to the joists.
Use a drill and the included screws. Ensure each the screws on each side of the rails are evenly inserted, for a level positioning.
4. Remove the temporary wood supports from the joists.
5. Ensure the face of the speaker is plumb with the joists.
6. Speaker wire connection:
To connect the speaker wire, strip approximately 3/16’’ (5mm) of the insulation off each wire, and to avoid stray strands, twist them at the end. To connect the ceiling speaker wire to the Terminal Connector on the Subwoofer module, push down on each connector, and insert each wire into the opening with the correct polarity.
7. Cut-Out Steps:
Use the cut-out template to mark the cut-out for the speaker (MOS36MRM) on the drywall/ surface material.
Trace along the inside of the Cut-Out Template, then use a keyhole or drywall saw to cut out the hole.
8. Installing Flanged or Flush Trims:
The Flanged and Flush trims can be added to the cut-out, without drywalling over. If the Port Tube cover does not reach the edge of the drywall, or if using sheetrock that is thicker than ½’’, attach the appropriate number of spacers, according to the depth of the drywall ceiling, for the trim to fit.
NOTE: If using a square trim, place the MRM Adapter Ring (Piece: C1) inside, with the Screw Holes facing towards the Port-Tube, and screw into the remaining Spacers and Subwoofer Enclosure as normal.
