REVEL I20/I30 Back Box
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.
