Connection Tips

Refer to page 4 of the HTI88 sub-

oofer owner’s guide for general

information on speaker-wire con-

ections. This manual includes con-

ection guidelines that are specific

to the HTI88BB back box.

To use the push-type terminals on

the connections panel supplied with

he HTI88BB back box enclosure,

depress the colored cap until the

pass-through hole in the binding

ost is revealed. While holding the

cap down, insert the bare end of

the wire, or a banana plug, into the

pass-through hole. Release the cap

and tug gently on the wire to ensure

that it is secure.

Since the HTI88 is a passive loud-

speaker, only speaker-level connec-

tions are available. Depending on

whether you are using a dedicated

subwoofer

amplifier or your main

receiver/

amplifier to power the

HTI88, select one of the two connec-

tion methods that follow.

Connection Method #1

Use this method when you are using

the HTI88 with your main receiver/

amplifier. Connect the main left and

ight speaker-level outputs on your

eceiver/amplifier to the Input 1 (for

left channel) and Input 2 (for right

hannel) connectors on the HTI88

onnection panel. Connect the

Output 1 terminals to the correspon-

ing terminals on your front left

speaker, and the Output 2 terminals

to the corresponding terminals on

our front right speaker.

NOTE: When using Connection

ethod #1 with only one HTI88, the

shorting straps must be removed.

If you are using two HTI88 sub-

woofers, connect the left speaker out-

uts on your receiver/

mplifier to

Input 1 on one subwoofer’s connec-

tions panel, and the right speaker

outputs on your receiver/amplifier to

Input 1 on the second subwoofer’s

connections panel. Then connect

Output 1 from the left-

channel sub-

woofer to the inputs

on your main

left speaker, and Output 1 from the

right-channel subwoofer to the

inputs on your main right speaker.

When using the HTI88 in this mono

mode, you should not remove the

shorting straps.

onnection Method #2

se this method when you are using

the HTI88 with a dedicated sub-

oofer amplifier. Connect your main

eceiver/

rocessor’s line-level sub-

woofer

output to the line-level input

n your subwoofer amplifier.

Connect the speaker terminals on

your subwoofer amplifier to either

nput 1 or Input 2. If your amplifier

has stereo outputs, you may con-

nect one channel to each of Inputs 1

nd 2. However, you must remove

the shorting straps when using

tereo mode. Alternatively, you may

onnect each channel to a separate

HTI88. When using only one input on

n individual HTI88, you should

leave the shorting bars in place.

Using the HTI88BB Back Box

Whichever connection method you

choose, to install the HTI88BB back

box, you will need to connect all of

the eight wires coming out of the

bottom of the back box to the appro-

priate terminals on the loudspeaker.

The wires are color-coded as

follows:

INPUT 1 (–): Yellow with black

stripe

INPUT 1 (+): Solid yellow

INPUT 2 (–): White with black

stripe

INPUT 2 (+): Solid white

OUTPUT 1 (–): Orange with

black stripe

OUTPUT 1 (+): Solid orange

OUTPUT 2 (–): Green with black

stripe

OUTPUT 2 (+): Solid green
