Speaker Enclosures
In certain applications, it may be desirable to build enclosures for
TheaterPoint in-wall speakers. In these situations, use the guidelines
presented below.
2 x 4 Studs
When installing TheaterPoint in-wall speakers into a pre-construc-
tion environment using 2" x 4" wall studs, 2 x 4 blocks can be placed
above and below the mounting location in order to seal the area
around the speaker. Use the chart below to determine appropriate
spacing of blocks to provide correct air space.
ELAN recommends installing screws at 2" intervals on the inside and
outside drywall along studs and above/below the speaker to avoid
vibration and create a more air-tight space.
