User manual VELODYNE SCI-W INSTALLATION REV B

[. . . ] Unlike other in-wall products where a back box may be optional, the SC-IW requires both enclosures, unaltered, for every installation. In new construction situations, the back box is in installed first (for example, at the framing or rough out stage), and the driver module is installed later in the trim out stage. It uses a unique bracing system in that the driver acts as the "internal bracing structure" for the speaker enclosure. The in-wall back box contains internal bracing to minimize cabinet flex and wall vibration. . The driver module and the back box are connected through two rubber conduits, sealed with supplied hose clamps. This linking system provides the installer the flexibility to either install the two boxes together in the wall or separately prior to installation. www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 2 The SC-IW comes in two completely separate cartons -- the SC-IWBB (Back Box) and the SC-IWDVR (Driver). [. . . ] The grille should then be affixed to the studs using the four included phillips drive pan head screws.

Once the location is decided, locate the 2x4 studs, spaced 16 inches on center. After the general area of the studs is located, determine the exact location of the studs as detailed in the picture below. Shown is the use of a "drywall saw" used horizontally to find the edge of each stud. . Figure 24: Subwoofer Orientation and Grille Location . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 25 Step 2 - Cut Out Drywall Per Template Once the studs have been located, place the supplied designer grille template on the wall. After the template is secured to the wall with either staples or tape, score the drywall along the lines as detailed on the template. Figure 25: Cut Out Drywall Per Template Note: Two templates are provided, one for the designer grille and one for the standard grille. Be sure to use the correct template! . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 26 Step 3 - Remove Drywall After it is Scored After the drywall is scored, remove the template and the drywall as indicated. The cutout after removal is shown in figures 26a and 26b. Figures 26a and 26b: Drywall Removal . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 27 Step 4 - Run Speaker Wire from Amplifier Location to In-Wall Subwoofer Route the wire from the location where the electronics gear is located to where the SC-IW will be. There is extra space between the studs and the box in the event that the wire has to pass along the side of the back box to the driver module. Figure 27: Speaker Wire Installation Note: 14 AWG or larger wire is recommended. . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 28 Step 5 - Assemble Cabinet and Driver Modules Together Remove both the back box and driver modules from the packaging and place them on a clean surface. Remove the two clamp rings from the packaging and place them over the tubes. Figures 28a and 28b: Cabinet and Driver Module Assembly . Note: Leave the paint cover on the driver to prevent damage during the installation, painting and finishing process. www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 29 Step 6 - Mark Installation Location Measure from the bottom of the cutout 6 3/8" up along the stud and mark the stud in this location. This location will determine the bottom edge of the bracket on the driver module. 6 3/8" Figure 29: Mark Installation Location . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 30 Step 7 - Install Subwoofer into Opening After the in-wall subwoofer assembly is complete, and the mounting position marked, orient the assembly inside the wall. In this installation example we have decided to face the unit downward. It is critical at this point that the top of the cabinet module is aligned with the top of the cutout and that the brackets are 6 3/8" from the bottom of the cutout. 6 3/8" Figure 30: Subwoofer Installation . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 31 Step 8 - Secure Subwoofer to Wall After the location has been determined, securely fasten the subwoofer to the studs. Velodyne provides 12 screws for this purpose. Figure 31: Secure Subwoofer . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 32 Step 9 - Connect Speaker Wire to Subwoofer Connect the previously routed speaker wire to the subwoofer taking care to match the positive wire to the red terminal and the negative wire to the black terminal. The spring loaded binding post will hold and secure the wire in place. Figure 32: Connect Speaker Wire . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 33 Step 10 - Install Filler Panel Velodyne provides an MDF filler panel to fill the distance between the driver module and the drywall. The filler panel easily installs using the four flat head screws and included allen wrench. Be sure to orientate the filler panel as shown such that the tapered edge faces way from the driver. Tapered Edge Tapered Edge Tapered Edge Straight Edge Figure 33: Filler Panel Installation . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 34 Step 11 - Install Drywall Above Filler Plate After the filler plate is secured to the driver module, install a replacement piece of drywall above the filler plate in the opening. This drywall should be securely fastened to the studs using drywall screws. Figure 34: Drywall Installation Step 12 - Tape, Mud, Texture and Paint Wall After the SC--IW is installed into the wall, the wall should be taped, textured, blended and then painted to match the existing wall. Note: The paint cover should be remain on the driver until this step is complete. . www. velodyne. com SC-IW Installation Manual 35 Step 13 - Install Designer Grille Remove metal grille insert from the plastic grille and insert into opening into the wall.
