[. . . ] This also helps hide the speaker in a less visible place. Remember that these are just guidelines. Since every listening room is different, TANNOY strongly recommends experimenting with the positioning of your subwoofer prior to cutting the wall to obtain the most pleasing results in your room. One technique that can help you find the ideal subwoofer location is to temporarily borrow a standalone subwoofer and place it near the main listening location. [. . . ] Then move around the room and determine where you hear the most pleasing bass performance. This would then be the ideal location for the subwoofer. 14. 00 CABINET INCLUDED MERCURY FR One MERCURY FR back box (shown installed between 16" on-center wall studs) (4) L-brackets (8) #10 32 x 1" screws (L-brackets to back box) (8) #10 split washers (L-brackets to back box) (8) #10 flat washers (L-brackets to back box) (8) #8 x 3/4" wood screws (L-brackets to wall studs) (2) wood centering bars (4) #10 32 x 1-1/2" flat-head screws (centering bars to back box) NOTE: The back box is shipped with the two centering bars attached to it using the four flat-head screws. 68. 00 CABINET DAMPING PADS LOCATING BARS ® HOME THEATER IN-WALL SERIES 4. 00 MERCURY FR OWNER'S GUIDE 2. 49 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Connection Tips Refer to page 4 of the HTI88 subwoofer owner's guide for general information on speaker-wire connections. This manual includes connection guidelines that are specific to the MERCURY FR back box. To use the push-type terminals on the connections panel supplied with the MERCURY FR back box enclosure, depress the colored cap until the pass-through hole in the binding post is revealed. While holding the cap down, insert the bare end of the wire, or a banana plug, into the pass-through hole. Release the cap and tug gently on the wire to ensure that it is secure. Since the HTI88 is a passive loudspeaker, only speaker-level connections are available. Depending on whether you are using a dedicated subwoofer amplifier or your main receiver/amplifier to power the HTI88, select one of the two connection methods that follow. Connection Method #1 Use this method when you are using the HTI88 with your main receiver/ amplifier. When used, the MERCURY FR back box is installed during new construction before the wallboard. Using the four flat-head screws, install the two centering bars as shown in Detail B in the drawings. The centering bars are for setting the depth of the enclosure. They also help locate the left/right position of the enclosure as they can be mounted into the studs on the left and right to hold the enclosure in the correct location before final mounting. Using the eight #10 32 x 1" screws, install the four L-brackets at the four corners of the enclosure. Each of the eight screws should have both the split washer and flat washer installed; the split washer goes on first. Leave the screws a half-turn loose at first to allow for adjustment later (see Detail A). Do not screw the L-brackets to the wall studs at this time (see step 6). The bottom edge of the bottom L-brackets will rest against the baseboard 2 x 4. [. . . ] Do not screw the L-brackets to the wall studs at this time (see step 6). The bottom edge of the bottom L-brackets will rest against the baseboard 2 x 4. At this time, make note of adjustments necessary to square the enclosure into the wall (see Detail C). After refitting and tightening the L-brackets into the enclosure (but not the wall studs yet), fit the enclosure into the wall once again. See Detail A Detail C L-Brackets See Detail B 6. [. . . ]
