Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing W Box Technologies
0E-ICS6 In-Ceiling Subwoofer with Sonic Vortex.
Our patented Sonic Vortex Technology is based on Ported Transmission
Line design and incorporates a compact, integrated enclosure. Most
In-ceiling speakers do not utilize a back box, even fewer have an
enclosure, and only a Sonic Vortex speaker has an Integrated
Transmission Line Ported Enclosure. Without something behind the
speaker driver the music not only plays into the room, but also bleeds
into adjoining rooms such as the attic or an occupied room. The bleed
negatively affects performance, and sound consistency.
The Sonic Vortex enclosure directs all of the sound from the speaker
driver into the room it is intend to be in, so you get to enjoy your
speakers without disturbing the rest of the house. Great bass response,
stereo image, and big sound that you can’t get with any other in-ceiling
speaker.
The 0E-ICS6 subwoofer installs with ease using the ‘dog’ mounting
system and magnetic bezelless grills for fast, clean installations.
Please follow the instructions in this manual to assure proper
installation and to achieve the full performance and satisfaction you
would expect from W Box Technologies.

Speaker Placement
When installing in-ceiling speakers or subs, (or in-ceiling anything for
that matter) it is always a good idea to nd out what is in the ceiling
before cutting holes. Be aware of the location of plumbing, electrical
and structural elements that may affect speaker placement.
Stereo
It is also a good idea to locate stereo speakers so they are centered to
the main listening position in which the user/s will normally be located.
Whenever possible, try to position the left and right speakers at the
same distance from each other as they are from the main listening
position.
Subwoofer
Subwoofers are omni-directional so placement of in-ceiling subs is
somewhat less critical, but placement can be affected (good and bad)
by corners and walls, so try to nd a location that will be somewhat
unaffected by placement.
Surround
Locate surround speakers according to the recommendations in the
surround processor’s owner’s manual.

Installation
SPEAKER WIRE
Pull one run of 16AWG stranded speaker wire from the amplier
location to each speaker location. If in pre-wire, while the walls are
open and it’s easy, pull extra wire to any location that may be desirable
to add speakers at a later date. Leave extra length of wire on each end
to allow making connections and installing/removing speakers.
Use the chart below to determine the proper gauge of wire, based upon
wire length from the amp to the speakers. If using volume controls,
include the total length from the amp to the volume control and then to
the speakers.
SPEAKER WIRE GAUGE TABLE
SPEAKER WIRE LENGTH SPEAKER WIRE GAUGE
150’ (46m) 16AWG
400’ (122m) 14AWG
NEW CONSTRUCTION
W Box Technologies speaker installation can be simplied by using a W
Box Technologies new construction 0E-EZBRACKET, (sold separately).
This is installed prior to drywall installation and allows for precise
speaker placement and simplies the nal installation of the speaker.
EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
Speaker wire must be run from the equipment or volume control
location to each potential speaker location.
• Choose a location for each speaker that is free of obstructions
created by joists, HVAC duct-work, electrical wire runs, plumbing
or anything else that might not allow for the depth of the speaker or
create interference or noise.
5
Installation
• Once you have determined your locations, use a pencil to mark the
hole to cut out for the speaker using the supplied template. Don’t
forget to allow for the size of the speaker bezel if you are installing
the speaker near a sidewall or other item that could become an
obstacle.
• If you are unsure of potential obstacles, carefully cut your holes
using an angle to the inside of the cutout area. This will allow you
to “plug” the hole easily if needed. If the area is clear and is a good
location for the speaker, go ahead and cut the edges of the opening
at 90 degrees to accommodate the speaker diameter.
Cut hole at an angle in case patching is necessary
Save cutout for patching if necessary
Cut edge at 90°if area is clear of obstructions
6
• Strip the insulation on each conductor approximately 1/2” (12.7mm)
and insert to the speaker terminals. Ensure that there are no stray
strands of wire protruding from the connectors that can cause
shorts. Observe proper polarity (+ to + and – to – for each speaker
and at the amplier) and that surround channels are properly
positioned and connected, if used.

Installation
• With the ‘dogs’ ush to the side of the speaker, insert the speaker
into the ceiling and tighten each of the four screws for the
speakers’ dogs, enough to clamp the speaker to the drywall. Do not
overtighten.

• Attach the grill to the subwoofer. The grill attaches with magnets so
it will just snap into palce.
PAINTING
The grill may be painted, but go as light as possible to not to clog the
ne holes with paint. Only paint grills when they have been removed
from the speakers and be sure to remove the cloth on the backside of
the grill before painting. If the cloth is not removed for painting, it will
absorb the paint and clog the Grill, signicantly affecting the sound...
and not in a good way.

Introduction
Bravo et merci d’avoir acheté le caisson de basses pour plafond
0E-ICS6 W Box Technologies avec Sonic Vortex.
Notre technologie Sonic Vortex brevetée se base sur une conception
d’enceinte à ligne de transmission portée, mais aussi intégrée et
compacte. La plupart des haut-parleurs pour plafond ne comportent pas
de boîte d’encastrement. Il est encore plus rare qu’ils soient équipés d’une
enceinte, et seul le haut-parleur Sonic Vortex dispose d’une enceinte
portée à ligne de transmission intégrée. S’il n’y a rien derrière le haut-
parleur élémentaire, la musique sera non seulement diffusée dans la pièce
où les haut-parleurs sont installés, mais aussi dans les pièces voisines
telles que le grenier ou une chambre occupée. Cette situation nuit aux
performances sonores et à la spatialisation.
L’enceinte Sonic Vortex dirige le son provenant du haut-parleur
élémentaire vers la pièce prévue an que vous puissiez proter de vos
haut-parleurs sans déranger le reste de la maison. Basse excellente,
image stéréo et son puissant que vous n’obtiendrez avec aucun autre
haut-parleur pour plafond.
Grâce à son système de montage par « levier » et ses grilles aimantées
sans cadre, l’installation du caisson de basses 0E-ICS6 est nette, facile
et rapide.
Veuillez suivre les instructions du présent manuel pour assurer une
installation appropriée, mais aussi obtenir la performance optimale et la
satisfaction que vous attendez des W Box Technologies.

Emplacement du haut-parleur
Lorsque vous installez les caissons de basses ou haut-parleurs pour
plafond, (ou que vous encastrez tout autre appareil de ce genre au
plafond), essayez toujours de savoir ce qui se trouve dans le plafond avant
d’y percer des trous. Essayez de connaître l’emplacement de la plomberie,
des éléments électriques et des éléments structurels pouvant gêner
l’installation du haut-parleur.
Stéréo
Essayez aussi de centrer les haut-parleurs stéréo par rapport à
l’emplacement d’écoute principal prévu par l’utilisateur/des utilisateurs.
Dans la mesure du possible, la distance qui sépare les haut-parleurs de
droite et de gauche doit être égale à celle qui les sépare de l’emplacement
d’écoute principal.
Caisson de basses
Les caissons de basses sont omnidirectionnels. L’emplacement des
caissons de basses pour plafond est donc relativement moins important,
mais il peut être affecté (en bien et en mal) par les coins et les murs.
Essayez donc de trouver un endroit qui sera relativement peu gêné par
l’emplacement.
Surround
Placez les haut-parleurs surround conformément aux recommandations du
manuel d’utilisation du processeur surround.

Installation
CÂBLE POUR HAUT-PARLEUR
Installez un câble pour haut-parleur torsadé de calibre 16 entre
l’amplicateur et chacun des haut-parleurs. Pendant la phase de
pré-câblage, si les parois peuvent s’ouvrir et que l’opération est aisée,
mettez un câble supplémentaire jusqu’à l’emplacement souhaité pour
ajouter les haut-parleurs ultérieurement. Laissez une longueur de câble
supplémentaire sur chaque extrémité pour permettre les raccordements
et l’installation/le retrait des haut-parleurs.
Consultez le tableau ci-dessous pour déterminer le bon calibre de câble en
fonction de la longueur de câble entre l’ampli et les haut-parleurs. Si vous
utilisez le contrôle du volume, comptez la longueur totale entre l’ampli et le
contrôle du volume, puis les haut-parleurs.

HABITATION NEUVE
L’installation des haut-parleurs W Box Technologies peut être facilitée par
l’utilisation d’un 0E-EZBRACKET W Box Technologies pour habitation neuve
(vendu séparément). Ce support est installé avant la cloison sèche et permet
un placement précis et une installation nale simple des haut-parleurs.
HABITATION EXISTANTE
Le câble de chaque haut-parleur doit être acheminé depuis l’emplacement
de l’équipement ou du contrôleur de volume vers l’emplacement potentiel
du haut-parleur.
• Choisissez pour chaque haut-parleur un emplacement où il n’y a
aucune obstruction créée par des solives, aucune conduite CVCA,
aucun passage de ls électriques, aucune tuyauterie ni aucun élément
qui ne laisse pas assez de profondeur au haut-parleur ou qui crée des
interférences ou du bruit.
17
Installation
• Une fois que les emplacements ont été déterminés, marquez le trou
à réaliser pour le haut-parleur à l’aide du modèle fourni. N’oubliez
pas de tenir compte des dimensions du cadre du haut-parleur si vous
choisissez d’installer le haut-parleur près d’un mur latéral ou de tout
autre élément pouvant être un obstacle.
• Si vous ne savez pas si vous rencontrerez des obstacles, découpez
avec précaution vos trous en prenant un angle vers l’intérieur de la
zone de découpe. Cela vous permettra de « boucher » facilement
le trou si nécessaire. Si la zone est dégagée et représente un bon
emplacement pour le haut-parleur, poursuivez l’installation et découpez
les bords de l’ouverture à 90 degrés pour pouvoir recevoir le diamètre
du haut-parleur.
Cut hole at an angle in case patching is necessary
Save cutout for patching if necessary
Cut edge at 90°if area is clear of obstructions
Découpez un trou à un angle quelconque au cas où le rapiéçage s’avère nécessaire
Conservez la partie découpée pour le rapéçage, si nécessaire
Découpez les extrémités à 90° si la zone est exempte d’obstructions
18
• Dénudez la gaine isolante de chaque conducteur d’environ 0,5 po
(12,7 mm) et insérez chaque conducteur dans les bornes du haut-
parleur. Assurez-vous qu’aucun toron de câble ne ressorte des
connecteurs, car ceci causerait des courts-circuits. Respectez la
polarité (le + avec le + et le – avec le – pour chaque haut-parleur
et au niveau de l’ampli) et vériez que les canaux surround sont
correctement raccordés.

PEINTURE
Vous pouvez peindre la grille, mais veillez à ne pas boucher les petits
trous en appliquant la peinture. Ne peignez les grilles qu’après les avoir
retirées des haut-parleurs. Avant de peindre, retirez le chiffon situé à
l’arrière des grilles. Si vous n’enlevez pas le chiffon avant de peindre
la grille, il absorbera la peinture et bouchera la grille, ce qui nuira
considérablement à la qualité du son.
