TIPS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
• If possible, run speaker wires after AC
wiring is in place to avoid additional noise
caused by close proximity of wiring.
• Secure the speaker wires against a joist with
insulated staples, being careful not to pierce
the wire insulation. Allow slack for building
material expansion.
• Horizontal wire runs should be routed through
holes drilled at equal heights in the joist.
• Do not install the actual speaker until the wall
board is in place. Until then leave several feet
of wire secured to the back of the mounting
ring. The excess wire can be removed during
final installation.
• During the drywall installation, make sure the
speaker cut-out hole does not extend farther
than 1/4 inch from the inside of the mounting
ring. The flat rough-in rings and flaps are thin
enough that they won’t interfere with wall
board installation.
Step 2. After you
have determined
the speaker
locations using the
guidelines above,
secure a 16 gauge
2-conductor
cable to the mount-
ing ring tabs (see
figure 2), such as
the M&S Systems
MS16X, for
attachment to the
speakers after the
dry wall has been
