Installation Instructions

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing 
your Rockustics In-Ground Subwoofers. If you have any 
questions regarding installation that are not answered in the 
following directions, please contact your local systems integra-
tor or the Rockustics Service Department. Contact information 
can be found below.

Warning:

 

Rockustic Speakers may be heavy, please use 

caution when lifting or handling.
Our manufacturing process leaves an excess of color pigment 
on the speaker. This will wash off with the first rain. Pigment 
may be removed from skin and clothing with normal washing, 
however, care should be taken with clothing. 

 

Optimizing Speaker Placement for Best Sound

All Rockustics subwoofers can generate a high SPL (sound 
pressure level). Please be considerate of your neighbors.
Maximum acoustic performance should be an imporntant 
factor in determining subwoofer placement. Here is how to 
acheive it:
    1) Establish where the most likely or average listening    
        position will be.
    2) The subwoofer should be placed at or close to the same  
        distance from that point. 
    3) The actual distance between the listening position and   
        the location of the subwoofer is not critical. However, keep  
        in mind that as the distance between listening area and  
        sunwoofer is increased, there will be a noticeable  

   

        decrease in perceived volume. 

Optimizing Aesthetics with Speaker Placement

Due to the unidirectional characteristics of subwoofers, the 
product can be placed anywhere. Feel free to position it near 
other rocks or shrubs, keeping in mind the need to dig a hole 
for the subwoofer cylinder. 

Other Placement Considerations

When considering subwoofer placement be sure to account 
for the wires which will run from the product to your stereo or 
audio source. Be sure to keep in mind that walkways and 
patios may be difficult to get around. 

Cautions

These are high quality outdoor subwoofers. 

DO NOT

 place 

soil or woodchips over the rock port cover vent holes. If the 
vent holes accumulate a build up of soil, it may affect sound 
quality. If build-up does occur, remove the rock port cover from 
the subwoofer and rinse it with a hose set to a low pressure 
level. If debris accumulates on the vent pipe screen, remove it 
with a brush or small broom. Never rinse or use a direct water 
stream near the vent pipe.
Accumulated soil may also cause insect traffic into the 
speaker. Insects may eat through the speaker surround. 
Chemical sprays may also cause damage to the rubber of the 
speaker surround. This includes bug spray, deck sealant, 
some fertilizers and oil based products. Use extreme caution 
when applying any types of spray near the subwoofer and 
cover port holes when applying treatments.

Maintenance

To insure that your Rockustics subwoofer provides years of 
listening enjoyment, we recommend gently rinsing the rock 
port cover periodically. Remove the rock port cover from the 
unit and use a low pressure stream of water to remove any 
accumulated dirt or debris from the port holes. Never rinse the 
vent pipe as water will accumulate inside the subwoofer.
