MOUNTING POINTS

The cabinet should be mounted using at least 2-3 of the 
primary mounting points shown below. 

Note:

 Dimensions are Identical for all R6 Models

Note:

 Cabinets are handmade and measurements may vary 

slightly due to the thickness of the fiberglass. Dimensions 
shown should not be used to fabricate hanging fixtures. 
Mounting points are approximate. 

CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKER

Each R6-MAX model has 12 ft (3.6m) 
16-2 SJOW cable(s) attached to the 
enclosure with a weathertight gland 
nut (one for the R6-BHMAX and 
three for the R6-51MAX - LF/MF/HF). 
These cables may be connected to 
the amplifier’s speaker cabling using 
solder, a terminal block, crimped 
connections, or wire-nuts. Any 
outdoor connections should be 
protected with a weather-resistant 
treatment (junction box or dielectric 
compound). In all cases, do not 
remove the gland nut attaching the 
cable to the rear of the loudspeaker, 
as this will compromise the weather 
integrity of the enclosure.
