Sonance Silhouette I (1.218 cubic feet)
Figure 5: Sonance Silhouette I rear box design.
• Attempt to avoid placing a speaker in a stud bay shared with the home’s electrical system.
• Move any fire stops that will interfere with the installation location (use the cardboard cut-out
template to pre-visualize installed speaker). Be sure to follow local building codes.
To use a back box with the Sonance Silhouette speakers you will need a wall with at least 5-1/2" of
depth. On pages 16 through 18 of this manual you can find construction drawings of back boxes for
the three Sonance Silhouette models. Follow the drawings as closely as possible.
1. Construct the back boxes out of 3/4" MDF according to the drawings, apply glue to all joints and
screw or nail the box together. Loosely fill the back box with fiberglass.
NOTE : On the construction drawings you can find the back box volumes necessary for each
of the Sonance Silhouette models. If your installation requires, modify the dimensions
of the box but maintain the proper internal volume. If you modify the depth of the
back box, please allow at least 4-1/4" of depth to clear the woofer magnet.
