INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
Important Note: LCi-RTS Series speakers are
for inside installation only. They are not
designed for use outdoors.
You should have a thorough understanding of and
adhere to all local building and fire codes. Also, you
should be familiar with the area behind the wall or
ceiling into which you plan to install your speakers.
Always use wire that meets appropriate building and
fire codes. Use at least 14 gauge wire or heavier for
the best sound quality. (Note: Wiring is best performed
by an experienced professional.)
When installing your LCi Series In-ceiling Loudspeakers,
be aware of the weight of your particular model (see
specification page for the weight of your model) and
the sturdiness of the material into which you are
installing the speaker. Be aware of any concealed
studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or
ceiling into which you are installing the speakers.
If you doubt that you possess the necessary skills
or tools, consult your Polk Audio dealer or a
professional installer.
