AS10SW

Gather the necessary tools for your installation.

You will need the following tools:
1) A Keyhole or Drywall Saw
2) A Phillips Screwdriver
3) Masking Tape
4) A Pencil
5) A Bubble or Laser Level
6) A Tape Measure
7) A Stud Finder (recommended)
8) Your AS10SW Speaker

Plan your speaker placement carefully. Make certain 
that electrical, plumbing and any other services will not 
interfere within the walls where you plan to place your 
speakers. The AS10SW Speaker can be mounted in the 
walls or in the ceiling, but is typically used in walls. The 
AS10SW is best mounted within 4 feet of a room corner 
to take advantage of low frequency corner loading effects 
(this increases the output of the subwoofer by as much as 
6dB- see fi gure 1). In addition, the AS10SW height should 
be no more than 3 feet from the fl oor.
Whenever possible, AudioSource recommends using 2 
AS10SW, one in each of the front corners of the listening 
room for the best in low frequency reproduction.  
(see fi g. 1)

In most modern buildings the wall studs are positioned 
on 16” centers, providing a space between the studs of 
approximately 14 3/8”. The AS10SW requires a mount-
ing hole 10 11/16” wide and 10 11/16” high. Additionally, 
you should allow an extra inch in all directions behind the 

wall surface to allow room for the “Easy-In” bracket that 
retains the frame to the wall surface.
Use a stud fi nder to locate the vertical studs behind the 
wall surface. You should now check for obstructions like 
cross bracing above and below the desired speaker 
location.

After selection of the mounting location, mark the hole 
to be cut out. A cut-out template is provided for your 
convenience. Locate and level the template, then mark 
with pencil on the wall surface. If you are unsure whether 
there are obstructions behind the wall surface where 
the speakers are to be mounted, cut a small hole in 
the center of your marked mounting location. Holding 
your drywall saw at a 45 degree angle (see Fig. 2) cut 
a square hole that you can use to fi nd any obstructions, 
should they exist.

Once it has been determined that there are no obstruc-
tions, cut the hole to mount the speaker using the drywall 
saw at a 90 degree angle to the wall surface. Cover the 
raw edges of the wallboard with masking tape (see Fig. 
3). This will prevent the back pressure of the speaker 
from blowing loose gypsum dust out and on to the 
painted wall surface after installation. Do not allow the 
tape to extend more than 1/2” beyond the edge of the 
hole into the room. The frame of the AS10SW will cover 
and hide the tape.
