IN-WALL LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
JBL B-Series in-wall loudspeakers are designed for standard drywall
construction, ceiling and drop ceilings with at least 3/8" wall material
thickness. For stereo or home theater listening, position the loudspeakers
so the tweeters are close to ear-level, and position the left and right
speakers closely with the television. (See Fig 1 &2) For background
listening, position the loudspeakers in any convenient location.

In-Ceiling Speaker placement
JBL B-Series in-ceiling loudspeakers are designed for standard drywall
ceilings and drop ceilings with at least 3/8" thick wall material. In
drop ceiling installations, JBL recommends to replace the ceiling tile
with plywood or medium density fiber board to prevent sagging ceiling
tiles. For home theater, position the loudspeakers as in Figure 3. For
background music, position the speakers in any convenient location to
distribute the sound throughout the room. (Figure 4)

Installation
Make sure to allow at least 1" (25.4mm) between the edge of the
supplied installation template and any rafters or other obstructions behind
the wall, so the speaker's locking mechanism will have room to engage
fully. Be sure that there are no studs, lengths of conduit, pipes, heating
ducts or air returns in any wall/ceiling cavity that will interfere with the
speaker.
1. Use the provided wall cut-out template to mark the location of the
loudspeaker. Use a saw to cut the appropriate size. (Figure 5)
2. Run speaker wiring to the wall openings. Be sure to comply with all
local construction and building codes. Attach the speaker wire to the
loudspeaker's appropriate speaker terminals. Confirm that each wire
matches the correct color and polarity on the system amplifier. (Figure 6)
3. Insert the loudspeaker into the opening. Use your screwdriver to
tighten the four screws on the loudspeaker front side. The loudspeaker
brackets will clamp down on the wall material. (Figure 7)
4. If needed, paint speaker grill before inserting on the loudspeaker.
Gently remove the cloth before painting and replace after the paint
dries. This loudspeaker grille is designed to support most types of
interior paint.
5. Place the grille into the loudspeaker. (Figure 8)
Note: Once the grille is installed, you may need to use a screwdriver to
remove the grille from the loudspeaker.
