IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read Before Starting Installation

WARNING This enclosure is not listed for use in air handling plenums. Installation

of this enclosure in walls or ceilings of fire barrier rated construction

require that construction methods shall be employed in order to comply

with local building or life safety codes. Consult your local Authority

Having Jurisdiction (Building, Electrical, or Fire Safety Inspector) to

determine what acceptable construction methods will be required.

WARNING The I20 Inwall Back Box weighs 19 lbs. (8.6kg) empty, and weighs 32

lbs. (14.52kg) with an I20 speaker system installed in it. The I30 Inwall

Back Box weighs 19 lbs. (8.6kg) empty, and weighs 36 lbs. (16.3kg) with

an I30 speaker system installed in it.

ANSI/EIA 636 Recommended Loudspeaker Safety Practices, Section 16.3

recommends that the mounting system used to install the Inwall Back

Box in walls or ceilings should support the weight of the product plus at

least four times the weight of the product being installed. That means,

for an I30 installed in an Inwall Back Box, the mounting system should

be able to support at least 180 lbs. (82kg).

It is strongly recommended that the installer consult a construction pro-

fessional or a professional engineer to determine the appropriate

mounting methods to be used for each specific installation location.

About the Back Box

Thank you for purchasing the Revel

I20/I30 Back Box, an optional rear enclo-

sure for the Revel I20/I30 In-Wall

Loudspeaker which provides optimum vol-

ume for woofer alignment and reduces

acoustic bleed through to rooms adjacent

to your listening area. The I20/I30 Back

Box also functions as a mounting bracket

designed to facilitate the installation of the

Revel I20/I30 In-Wall loudspeakers in new

construction or major retro-fit installations.

The back box improves sonic performance

while providing solid support for the

speaker mounting frame and baffle assem-

bly. Since the back box is installed before

the drywall is mounted, it allows the

speakers to be mounted in a clean, effi-

cient manner.

The Revel I20/I30 Back Box measures

17.50 x 29.50-inches (444.5 x 749.3mm)

(including the flanges). The back box is

designed to mount between two 2x4-inch

(or 2x6-inch) wall studs on 16-inch centers.

See the illustrations below for inner dimen-

sions.

lation:

Installation Instructions

Note

Figure 3 (above) shows the depth of the

back box. It can be installed in walls con-

structed with standard 2x4s. It is impor-

tant to note that the speaker mounting

frame requires a minimum depth (from

the wall face to the inside back of the

I20/I30 Back Box) of 3-1/2 inches

(88.9mm) for proper installation. This can

only be achieved by using 5/8 inch

(15.9mm) sheetrock on the wall face. It is

recommended the installer consult with

the sheetrock installer before beginning

the installation.

Caution

Installers are advised to wear work

gloves and face mask when installing

the back box and making wire connec-

tions, as the back box contains fiber-

glass.

To install the back box:

1. Use a tape measure to determine the

location where the speaker is to be

mounted. Refer to the Revel I20/I30

In-Wall Loudspeaker Owner’s Manual

for speaker placement considerations.

Record exact measurements from the

floor, ceiling and an adjacent dry wall

section.

Note

The I20/I30 Back Box eliminates sensitivi-

ty to placement considerations due to

standing waves within the wall cavity as

described in the Revel I20/I30 In-wall

Loudspeaker Owner’s Manual.

2. Position the back box between two wall

studs and into the wall cavity as shown

in Figure 4 (above). The back box must

be placed between standard 16-inch

on-center stud spacing. If desired, the

back box can be mounted upside-down

if you will be mounting the speaker

close to the ceiling.

codes to ensure a proper installation.

Harman Specialty Group is not respon-

sible for any possible damages caused

by improper installation.

tors by hand (counterclockwise) on the

terminal cup’s positive (+) and nega-

codes. Harman Specialty Group is not

responsible for any damages or injuries

that may result from faulty wiring.

6. Place the section of drywall over the

back box.With tape measure and pen-

cil, carefully measure and mark where

to position the wall template (included

with the loudspeaker) by using the

measurements recorded in Step 1.

7. Use the wall template to trace where to

cut the drywall.

8. Cut a small hole in the center of the

template area to make sure the

template is in the right location.

9. After confirming the correct location,

cut the template hole opening as

shown in Figure 6 (below). Use a

carpenter’s level to ensure the opening

is level.

10. Fasten the drywall to the wall studs

using drywall screws.

11. Install the speaker mounting frame

into the wall opening. Refer to the

Revel I20/I30 In-Wall Loudspeaker

Owner’s Manual for complete instruc-

tions.

12. The back box’s banana plugs are locat-

ed inside the terminal cup as shown in

illustration A in Figure 7 (above).

Route wires from terminal cup behind

the speaker frame clamps (to prevent

close proximity with the woofer basket)

until they emerge at the top of the

speaker frame as shown in Figure 8

(below). The banana plugs must be

positioned correctly for a proper

connection. Be sure to avoid contact

with the speaker cone.

wires are 18-inches long. If necessary,

use the extra service wire (provided).

14. Loosen the terminal connectors by

hand (counterclockwise) on the bind-

ing posts until the holes in their

threaded posts are visible. Insert the

banana plugs from the top as shown

in illustration B in Figure 9 above.

Make all connections observing the proper

polarity, positive to positive (+) and nega-

tive to negative (-). The banana plugs and

terminal connectors are color-coded for

simple identification: red (positive) and

black (negative).

15. Retighten the terminal connectors to

ensure a secure connection.

16. Refer to the Revel I20/I30 In-Wall

Loudspeaker Owner’s Manual for

complete instructions on installing the

tion.
