The FlexBracket will serve as a guide for the dry wall installer when
cutting holes for in-wall speakers. The FlexBracket should be nailed or
screwed to the studs so that the hole is in the desired location once
the drywall is installed.

Once you have determined the area you would like to locate your
speakers, you will need to do an obstruction survey. Before you cut
the hole for the speaker, be certain no studs, conduit, pipe, heating

The cutout for the Cinema Ultra II series is 10-1/4 (260mm) x 18-3/4"
(476mm). There must also be 3-15/16" of depth within the wall for the
speaker.
A cut out template is provided in the packaging of the speaker.
Position the template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an
outline on the wall. If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small
hole in the center of the cutout and insert a coat hanger into the hole
to feel for possible obstructions. If no obstructions are found, proceed
with cutting the hole using a drywall saw and run the speaker wires.
