To install the closed-back ceiling speakers, do the following:
, use both supports. When mounting onto a
sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to reinforce the ceiling material.
1. Place the C-ring over the hole cut in the ceiling tile (on the “ceiling” side).
Place it around the hole so that the tabs are located in parallel to the tile edges
(see
Figure 7).

1 The tile rails prevent the speakers from falling if the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as their ends catch onto the T-grid
2 Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers.
When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support
