Insulating the Ceiling Cavity
If feasible, fill the ceiling cavity with insu-
lation at this point
.
Mounting the
New Construction Bracket
The hole saving bracket enables a faster
and cleaner final installation of the loud-
speaker. It forces the drywall installer to
cut out the loudspeaker hole for you and
provides wire ties for the loudspeaker
wire, reducing the risks of accidental loss
or movement of the wire. In addition, it
enables you to align your loudspeakers
with other ceiling fixtures with great accu-
racy since you can really see exactly
where the loudspeaker will be.
To install the bracket, first attach the
QuickSnap
™
new construction wings to
the bracket by snapping them into the
sides of the bracket. The wings can be
shortened by breaking them along the
scored lines if the length will interfere with
corner or eaves.
The wings and brackets have centering
lines to simplify placement of the loud-
speakers.
Screw one side of the assembled bracket
with wings to the joist using one of the
supplied screws. Level the bracket. Screw
the other side of the bracket/wing assembly
to the joist. Two screws on each side
make for a very secure installation. Secure
the wire to the bracket using bracket’s
wire tie. The drywall installers will cut the
drywall to the exact size of the bracket.

Concealing Speaker Wire for a
Future Installation
Attach the speaker wire in a loop between
the ceiling joists and carefully mark
the exact location of the wire on a set
of plans. Ask the general contractor to
inform the drywall installers that the loud-
speaker wire loops are concealed for
future installations.

The loudspeaker wire is looped and hung on

future use. Make sure the location is noted
on house plans.
