Note
Be sure that the speaker wires are clear of
the woofer basket and not too close to the
woofer cone. Ensure wires do not get
pinched between the baffle and the
mounting frame. Refer to Figure 16 (previ-
ous page).
14. Use the spacer shim to center the baffle
inside of the frame while securing with
four 10-32x2.25-inch screws. Loosely
tighten the screws while using the spac-
er on bottom side. Remove spacer and
gauge the other three sides before start-
ing final torque sequence. Proper
centering of the baffle is critical to the
grille fitting properly.
15. Use the included 5/32-inch allen key to
tighten until snug as shown in Figure
17 (above).
MAKING
CONNECTIONS
The I20/I30 features gold-plated binding
posts that allow for two methods of
connecting the speaker wires.
CAUTION
Never make or break connections
unless all system components are
powered off.
Before making connections, note the
following:
•
Make all connections observing the
proper polarity, positive-to-positive (+)
and negative-to-negative (–).
Connections that do not observe the
proper polarity will cause poor stereo
imaging and diminished bass response.
•
Use high-quality loudspeaker cable
with a maximum total loop resistance
of 0.07ohms or less (for each wire run).
Refer to the table in the below to deter-
mine the appropriate maximum wire
gauge.
•
All in-wall speaker wires must be UL
listed for use in in-wall applications.
Caution
Be sure to comply with local wiring
codes. Harman Specialty Group is not
responsible for any damages or injuries
that may result from faulty wiring.
