CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: 

All electrical 

installation connections for 
loudspeaker lines are 

subject to all applicable 
governmental building and fire 
codes. The selection of appropriate 
electrical hardware to interface with 
the I SERIES loudspeaker lies solely 
with the installation professional. 
Community recommends that an 
appropriately licensed engineer, 
electrician, or other qualified 
professional identify and select the 
appropriate conduit, fittings, wire, 
etc. for the installation. 

Figure 1. Wire Connectors

All I SERIES loudspeakers are fitted with captive-clamp terminal blocks on the 
input panel to connect to the amplifier. Terminating the wires with a spade or 
ring connector (Figure 1.) is recommended for secure connections. The maximum 
width of the ring or spade lug should be 0.375" (9.5mm), or less. The terminal 
screws are #8 (M4). The maximum wire size that can be accommodated for bare 
wire connections is 10 AWG (5.26 mm

2

). 

Note: 

Wire insulation colors may vary depending upon region or manufacturer. Be consistent with 

conductor color use throughout the system.

Weather-resistant I SERIES models are ordered preconfigured for passive or 
biamp/triamp operation and have a  12' (3.6m) 14 ga cable passing through a 
sealed gland nut and input panel cover. Do not remove the gland nut or input 
panel cover as this will defeat the weather-resistance of the connection. If you 
must remove the input panel or gland nut, it must be reattached and resealed 
with a silicone or other similar sealant to maintain the weather-resistance of the 
loudspeaker.  

CONNECTION: LOUDSPEAKER INPUT PANEL

The input panels on the two-way loudspeakers can be wired in passive or biamp 
configurations. The three-way can be wired in biamp or triamp modes. The dual 
subwoofers can be wired in single amp or dual amp modes. The input panels 
on these models have a jumper that must be placed correctly in order for it to 
function in the designated mode. See Figures 2a-2d for the jumper positions.
