How to Install Speakers and Emitters
More in Remodeling
Step 1: Measure the Area
To keep the drywall dust away from the monitors, install the speakers first. Measure from the wall to get the horizontal placement of the two outermost speakers. Then, measure down from the ceiling for the height.
Step 2: Cut Out the Speaker Shape
Use the templates that come with the speakers to trace the speaker shape onto the wall at the correct position (image 1). Use a drywall saw to cut the shapes (image 2).
Step 3: Install the Speakers
To install the speakers, attach the speaker wires. Insert the speaker into the opening and tighten it into place. Special tabs keep the speaker positioned. Once the speaker is in place, pop the front grill back onto the speaker.
Step 4: Remove Any Excess Base
Slide the TVs into position. Use a rotary tool to remove any excess base on both monitors.
Step 5: Install the Emitters
Install tiny infrared emitters to control all the TVs with one remote.
Step 6: Attach the Frames
Position the frames around the upper monitors and nail them into place.
Step 7: Replace the Back Board
Slide the plasma screen back board into the opening and against the back stops. Strike the barrel bolts with a hammer to mark the frame, and drill a hole at each of the marks. Replace the back board and tap the bolts into the holes to secure it. Add a few extra screws around the edges.
Step 8: Position the Plasma Screen
Attach the bracket to the back board mount, and connect the cables. Slide the plasma screen back into the opening.
