Mount A Jbl Surround Speaker To A Ceiling

JBL ceiling-mount speakers add to any sound design.


JBL is a recognized leader in manufacturing speakers. Its speaker designs include innovations in frequency response and crossover functions that provide a wide range of tone reproduction. This is why many people choose JBL products for a variety of uses, such as surround-sound speakers in home theater systems. Part of this approach often includes a ceiling-mounted speaker.


Instructions


1. Place ladder in location for desired ceiling mount. Retrieve ceiling-mount hardware included with JBL speaker, electric drill, screw bit to match mounting hardware, 1/2-inch drill bit, 1/4-inch drill bit, carpenter's pencil, hole saw and safety glasses or goggles.


2. Place mounting flange from ceiling-mount hardware in desired location on ceiling. Mark holes where mounting screws will go. Draw speaker-opening circle, using mounting flange as guide.


3. Put on safety glasses or goggles. Use 1/2-inch drill bit to drill pilot hole within drawn speaker-opening circle. Use hole saw to cut out speaker opening. Change to 1/4-inch drill bit, and drill mounting-screw holes.








4. Retrieve JBL speaker and 10-gauge AGW speaker wire. Use wire strippers to strip 3/8 of an inch off ends of speaker wire. Attach to correct terminals on JBL speaker (soldering to terminals optional).


5. Place mounting flange on speaker. Feed speaker wire through hole. Use screw bit to attach flange with speaker to screw holes.
