Jam Nuts
MOUNTING DETAIL
e Transducer mounts on 1"x 6" hardwood bridge spanning two joists, using the
Unimount Bracket (shown) or the threaded stud with T-Nut. Attach the bridge to
the bottom face of the joists using adhesive and screws.
Installation using the Unimount Bracket
1. Attach a 1” by 6” hardwood bridge to the two I-beams using adhesive and screws.
2. Attach the Unimount Bracket to the bridge using machine screws with at washers and lock washers.
3. Screw the a readed Stud into the threaded insert on the Unimount Bracket.
4. Spin the two Jam Nuts onto the stud. You will tighten them later.
5. Screw the Transducer onto the Stud until a slight resistance is felt (approx. 5 or 6 turns). When resistance
is felt, stop turning. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE TRANSDUCER!
6. Tighten one Jam Nut against the Unimount Bracket.
7. Tighten the other Jam Nut against the Transducer’s brass nut using two 9/16” wrenches as follows:
One wrench rmly grasping the Transducer’s brass nut while the second tightens the Jam Nut against it. NEVER TIGHTEN BY
TURNING THE TRANSDUCER – MAKE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE JAM NUT AGAINST THE TRANSDUCER’S BRASS
NUT.
8. Use solder or wire nuts to connect speaker wire to the Transducer’s wire leads.
9. Run the speaker wire to your audio system.
10. Connect the Transducer to your audio system (see “Wiring and Connections” in this guide).

Installation using the T-Nut
1. Drill a 7/16” hole in a 1” by 6” hardwood bridge. Press the T-nut into the hole on the side of the
mounting surface opposite the Transducer.
1. Attach the hardwood bridge to the two I-beams using adhesive and screws.
2. Screw a readed Stud completely into the T-Nut.
3. Place the 3/8” at washer and 3/8” lock washer on the readed Stud, then spin the two Jam Nuts
onto the stud (at washer against the mounting surface, lock washer between at washer and jam
nut). You will tighten the jam nuts later.
4. Screw the Transducer onto the Stud until slight resistance is felt (approx. 5 or 6 turns). When resis-
tance is felt, stop turning. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE TRANSDUCER!
5. Tighten one Jam Nut against the lock washer, at washer, and mounting surface.
6. Follow steps 6 through 9 under “Steps for installation using the Unimount Bracket” (as shown above).
