CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it
installed by a qualified home theater technician.
CAUTION: Before installation, power off and unplug your equipment to
prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
The IBeam can be powered by any 4 ohm stable amplifier that provides a minimum of
100 Watts RMS @ 4 ohms. Amplifiers with 150 – 250 Watts @ 4 ohms offer the best
experience.
1. Pre-route 16/14 or 12AWG speaker wires from the IBeam unit to the home theater system
it will be connected to.
CAUTION: Be sure to route wires were they will not be tripped over or
become damaged due to sharp edges or from the movement of
furniture or people.
2. Connect the speaker wires to the IBeam and mark them to maintain proper signal polarity
when connecting to the amplifier.
Connection to a system with a designated sub output.
3. Follow the instructions provided with the amplifier being used to connect it to the sub
output on your home theater system.
4. Connect the speaker wires from the IBeam to the output on the amplifier. Be sure to main-
tain proper signal polarity for best performance.
Connection to a system with no sub output.
5. When connecting to a system with no designated sub output, a crossover will be required.
A crossover with settings of 100-300hz will offer the best performance.
