INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
Important Note: You should have a thorough under-
standing of and adhere to all local building and fire
codes. Also, you should be familiar with the area
behind the wall or ceiling into which you plan to install
your speakers. Always use wire that meets appropriate
building and fire codes. Use at least 14 gauge wire
or heavier for the best sound quality. (Note: Wiring
is best performed by an experienced professional.)
When installing your LC i Series In-wall Loudspeakers,
be aware of the weight of your particular model (see
specification page for the weight of your model) and
the sturdiness of the material into which you are
installing the speaker. Be aware of any concealed
studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or
ceiling into which you are installing the speakers.
If you doubt that you possess the necessary skills
or tools, consult your Polk Audio dealer or a
professional installer.
If you are using a performance enclosure, please
refer to the performance enclosure installation
instructions included with the enclosure.
