re nstallation
NOTE: These instructions assume the mounting surface is of
standard wood frame and conventional sheetrock construc-
tion. If you wish to mount the speakers to another type of
material, you should contact a bonded contractor.
NOTE: See your local dealer for new construction pre-
install brackets (sold separately).
WARNING! Before installing check local
building codes to verify compliance with local
regulations. WARNING! Before installing
check for obstructions behind drywall. To do
this make a small cut-out, cutting at a 45°
angle (this makes the hole easier to patch if
you find obstacles. Only cut out the mounting
hole after you have verified there are no
obstructions behind the drywall. WARNING!
Use speaker cable rated for in-wall use.
The UL standard is CL2, CL3, and CM. The
CSA standard is FT4. WARNING! Turn your
amplifier off before making or breaking any
signal connections.
1. Be sure the wall framing is plumb and the stud spacing
is correct. (16" Minimum - 18" Maximum on center
stud spacing)
2. Speaker wire should be ran to each of the designated
stud bays before beginning the install. The in wall
back box has binding posts on the top and bot-
tom for ease of connection only . Statement
40XW requires that only 1 connection be made .
3. Please ensure the chosen stud bays are clear of all
obstructions. If plumbing, electrical, or another obstruc-
tion is present that cannot be safely relocated, please
consult the back box dimensional drawing to verify
potential fitment interference
A simple and effective way to test for potential fitment
issues is to use one of the included back box mounting
brackets as a check gauge- placing it in the stud bay and
moving it over possible interferences. If anything makes
contact with the bracket, it will interfere with the back box
and must be relocated in order to use that stud bay.

4. The overall height of the Statement 40XW drivers is
around 53" tall. We recommend that the seated ear
level at the primary listening position(s) fall within the
middle 40" of the driver assembly. Essentially making
sure that ear level is around 6.5" or more above the
bottom of the lowest speaker driver. Please note, that
the height of the in-wall enclosure will be the ultimate
limiting factor on how high the speaker can be mounted
within the stud bay. The large height of the driver
assembly means that most typical seating heights will be
well within the "sweet spot" of the speaker.
