The AS6c speakers can be mounted in the walls or in the ceiling, but are typically used in ceilings. The speakers should be located so that they provide even coverage at your listening position. The distance between the speakers should not be greater than the distance from the speakers to the listening position. In most modern buildings the ceiling joists are positioned on 16” centers, providing a space between the joists of approximately 14 3/8”. The AS6c requires a mounting hole 7 3/4“ in diameter. Also, you should allow an extra 3/4” clearance in all directions behind the ceiling surface to allow room for the doglegs that retain the frame to the ceiling surface to swing into position.

It is now time to connect the speaker wire to the AS6c. Your speaker wire is usually coded to identify each conductor as either positive or negative. This can be by color coding, or one conductor may have a printed marking or at least a rib along one edge that you will not find on the other. Identify which type of polarity coding that your wire is using. You must carefully observe that the positive terminal of the speaker output on your amplifier is connected to the positive terminal of the AS6c speaker. Likewise, the negative terminal of the amplifier’s speaker output should be connected to the negative terminal of the AS6c speaker.
