SPECIAL FIRE WALL INSTALLATION
If you plan to mount your speaker into a fire rated ceiling, you should purchase a SpeakerCraft 8" Sound Enclosure # SE1410. This
metal enclosure is designed to be used exclusively with SpeakerCraft speakers, mounts easily between joists. The enclosure comes
with a standard electrical clamp type connector for connection of your speaker cable directly to the speaker. Tightening the two
provided screws will ensure a sturdy “pull proof” connection.

Cutting the small hole at this angle will make drywall repair much easier, using the piece cut out. Once you have determined
that there aren’t any obstructions in your desired mounting location, start cutting the finished hole at a 90º angle to the
Add insulation. If the area in the ceiling is not already insulated, add an adequate amount insulation material to loosely cover the
back of the speaker. If the insulation material used is faced with foil or paper, position the foil or paper away from the speaker.
The unique integral four foot mounting system incorporated into
your DT speaker allows for a quick installation by following these
Remove the grille. It may be necessary to push one or two
of the mounting screws, and its attached foot, towards the
baffle and against the inside surface of the grille to force the
grille out of its retaining groove.
Attach the speaker cable (observing the proper polarity with
your amplifier, + to + and - to -). Either channel may be
attached to either terminal set, however, be sure that polarity
(+ and -) is correct on each channel or the performance of the
speaker will be seriously affected, as one channel will cancel
Make sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the
opening, and insert the speaker into the ceiling. Position
the speaker into the hole.
The flange of the speaker
is designed to flex and conform to any small imperfections
in the ceiling’s surface. Tighten the four screws on the front
of the baffle only enough to make the flange become snug
against the ceiling. As you tighten the screws, the feet will
automatically flip into an outward position thereby clamping
the drywall between the feet and the flange.
CAUTION: Over tightening may warp the baffle, crack the
ceiling, cause the flange to distort, and make the grille
Push the grille firmly into the slot in the speaker baffle.
If you plan to paint your speaker, we recommend that it be
done prior to installation. If you plan to paint your speaker
sometime in the future, it is best to remove it by simply reversing
listed above. If it is necessary
to paint the speaker while it is still in the ceiling, the paint mask
provided in the carton must be installed in place of the grille
while the flange is being painted with the ceiling. The grille
can also be painted, however, great care should be taken not
to clog the holes as this will greatly reduce the sound quality of
the speaker. SpeakerCraft recommends only light spray painting
using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Do not paint the
grille while it is attached to the speaker.
