IW55 RIF Installation Instructions
Note : Installation of the
rough-in frame requires
removal of the wall
board. It is therefore
recommended for new
construction or major
remodels only.
1. To accommodate correct
speaker orientation, the
IW55 RIF can be installed
horizontally or vertically.
For vertical installation, the
snap on wings (a) must be
used (see Fig. 1). In hori-
zontal installation, if cross
braces are available above
& below the speaker loca-
tion, the snap on wings (a)
can be used (see Fig. 2),
or the rough-in-frame tabs
(see (b) in Fig. 4) can be
directly nailed onto vertical
wall studs (see Fig. 3).

2. When using installation methods shown
in Fig.1 or Fig. 2, snap the two flat wing
sections (see (a) in Fig. 4) onto the
rough-in-frame. Note: Use the edge of
the wing with the set of two large rectan-
gular openings (see (e) in Fig. 4).

3. Position the rough-in-frame assembly as required
between the wall studs or cross braces and nail into place.
Be sure that the nail heads are set as flush as possible
against the snap-on wings or the rough-in-frame tabs (see
(b) in Fig. 4). Note: wire tabs (see (c) in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5)
go towards the back (inside of the wall).

4. See Fig. 5. Pre-routed wire can be held in place using
the molded wire tabs (c) on the back side of the frame
unit. Be sure that no wire remains exposed on the front
(wall board) side of the assembly. Note: In order to facili-
tate correct wall board installation, the raised inner lip of
the rough-in-frame (d) serves as a physical barrier that the
wall board edge should rest against. After wall board
installation is complete, the speaker wire can run through
the opening in the wall board and attached to the speaker
system as detailed in the IW55 RIF installation manual.
