What's included with the C165SS?

Last updated: January 19, 2023 01:55. Revision #9506

1. 1 x C165SS Ceiling Speaker.

Installation Instructions

Last updated: January 19, 2023 01:55. Revision #9507

1. Firstly, remove the cardboard pad from inside the supplied template to mark the position for the mounting hole at the selected location.

2. Before cutting ceiling speaker holes, it is suggested that the area is tested for clearance by making an L-shaped probe from strong wire (see

illustration below), drilling a small hole in the target area, inserting the probe and slowly turning. Any obstructions will be immediately obvious, and

the target area can be moved to a more suitable position.

3. Cut the mounting hole with a drywall, or keyhole saw. Be sure the mounting surface is between 10 and 30mm (0.39 - 1.18”) thick, and that there

is at least 93mm(3.74”) of clearance behind the mounting surface.

4. Use 16 gauge minimum speaker cable to connect between your ampliﬁer and your speakers. Ensure that speaker cables are routed away from

any electrical cables and that any ampliﬁers/sources are switched oﬀ during installation.

5. Use a wire stripper to strip 10mm of insulation from the end of each speaker cable and twist the strands together.

6. When connecting speakers pay extra attention to polarity ensuring that red (+) terminals on your ampliﬁer are connected to the red (+)

terminals on your speakers, and that the black (-) terminals on your ampliﬁer are connected to the black (-) terminals on your speakers.

7. Ensure that the four ﬁxing screws on the speaker are slackened oﬀ allowing the mounting dog-legs to move freely. Move each dog-leg foot to the

LEFT into its holding slot and then line the speaker up in the mounting hole.

8. With the speaker in the mounting hole use a cross-head screwdriver to slowly turn each ﬁxing screw clockwise, moving the dog-legs out of their

slots. Tighten these screws until the dog-legs grip the ceiling.

Note: Please check with your builder/installer whether you need to install a ﬁre hood with this product. “Low smoke/zero halogen” speciﬁcation

Speaker cable may also be required.

Painting the speaker grille and frame

Last updated: January 19, 2023 01:55. Revision #9508

The C165SS speaker grille is attached by a magnet, allowing it to be easily removed for painting.

1. Carefully remove the grille ensuring not to damage the speaker cone.

2. Paint the grille using your chosen paint.

3. If you wish to paint the speaker surround, please use the included clear plastic painting mask to cover the speaker cone and avoid causing

damage.
