Thread the extension coupling into the threaded hub of the ceiling plate, then place the
wire mesh cover around it(Figure 1).

Step 3. Assemble the Cross Arm:

Permanently attach the eyebolts to the cross bar with flat washers and Nylock nuts then the end
caps (Figure 2).

Step 4. Assemble the Center
Hub:

Assemble the hub to the cross arm
using the hex bolt, washers, Teflon

Step 9. Suspend the Speaker from the
Cross Arm:

Using a 5/6” shackle, attach the clutch lock eye
of the adjustable cable and one fixed cable to

one eyebolt of the cross arm. Attach the other end
of the adjustable cable and the other fixed cable to
the other cross arm eyebolt with a 5/16” shackle
