User manual BOSTON ACOUSTICS HSI S6W2

[. . . ] This confirmation is particularly important in the case of the HSi S6W2 subwoofer, because installation of the cabinet requires the removal and replacement of a rectangle of ceiling board in existing construction. In existing construction, if you do not know what is above the ceiling, confirm there is enough room for the speakers by drilling a small hole, inserting a coat hanger wire or other tool, and feeling around to make sure proper clearance exists. Before cutting speaker holes, drill a small hole and use a coat hanger wire or long screwdriver to check for clearance above the ceiling. Within reason, wherever the speakers look right, they'll sound right. [. . . ] also , use a stud finder to locate the ceiling joists. After starting to cut the hole for the sub, it is possible to confirm the location of joists and shift the hole location if needed. 2) Mark and cut the hole in the ceiling for installing the subwoofer cabinet. Do not cut in the area where the port trim plate will be installed. If possible, make the subwoofer cabinet hole large enough so you can reach the terminal area after the subwoofer is installed. 3) Care needs to be taken with locating the port wall plate, because the sub placement and port tube only offers some flexibility in placement of the trim plate. Also the wall plate flange is thin, so the trim plate's hole must be precisely cut. 4) Use the large template to mark the trim plate hole location, but do not cut the hole until the subwoofer is mounted. 5) If any nails are protruding from the subfloor above, cut or hammer them out of the way. 6) With the trim plate hole marking as a guide, hold the HSi S6W2 in place and use the supplied brackets to mark for screw holes.

Seal any unused pilot holes with glue or caulk. 9) Attach the brackets to the subwoofer , and mount the brackets to the joists. NOTE: The flexible port can only bend 1-inch (25 mm) in any direction. also , the port tube's length cannot change. So it is very important to space the subwoofer above the ceiling very carefully. The space between the subwoofer and a typical 3/8-inch (10 7 mm) ceiling board should be /8-inch (22 mm).

This helps prevent paint from filling the holes on the grille. After the paint is dry, reinstall the cloth.
