It is important 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. 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 sensitivity to placement considerations due to standing waves within the wall cavity as described in the Revel I20/I30 In-wall Loudspeaker Owner's Manual. Caution Installers are advised to wear work gloves and face mask when installing the back box and making wire connections, as the back box contains fiberglass. 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.
