Cautions and Maintenance
All Rockustics Rock Series speakers are sealed and fully
weatherproof. However, DO NOT place speakers where
the grille will be in the path of a sprinkler system. Sprinklers
typically have a high water pressure level that can damage
speaker cones if hit directly.
DO NOT place soil or wood chips over the speaker grille. If the
grilles accumulate a build up of soil, the speaker may become
damaged. If build up does occur, simply rinse the grille with a
garden hose set to a low pressure level. Accumulated soil may
also promote undesired insect traffic into the speaker. Insects
may eat through the speaker cone. Chemical sprays may also
cause damage to the rubber of the speaker surround. This in-
cludes bug spray, deck sealant, some fertilizers and oil based
products. Speakers MUST be covered when applying these
treatments or chemicals in your yard.
For environments that get snow and ice during the winter
months, be sure to check that the openings and woofer cone
are clear and there is no hard-packed snow or ice built up in
these areas before playing. If there is ice or snow present on
the cone, use a hair dryer set on a low setting to to melt it away.
If the speakers are not going to be used during winter months, it
is recommended that they either be disconnected and brought
indoors, or covered with a plastic bag to help protect the
speaker components.
Step by Step Setup
1. Locating Wire
Locate speaker wire on the
underside of the speaker. Strip
wire ends if necessary.
2. Gasket
Attach the gasket to the smooth
side of the bottom cover plate.
3. Attaching Gland
Attach the supplied liquid-tight
strain relief gland to the cover
plate and thread signal wires
through the gland.
4. Conduit
Attach the conduit clamp to the
cover plate. It may be neces-
sary to increase the opening in
the cover plate to fit the conduit
connector. Thread signal wires
through the conduit clamp and
affix the conduit clamp.
5. Connecting Wire
Connect the speaker wire to
the input signal wire. Red is
positive, black is negative. Use
included wire nuts to secure
the connection. Tuck wires and
wire nuts into the pocket on
the underside of the speaker.
6. Tap Settings
To change tap settings, locat-
ed the tap switch on the ud-
nerside of the rock behind the
cover plate. Use a small flat
head screwdriver to adjust the
switch for the desired setting.
The tap switch is a six-position
rotary switch with positions
for 120 W, 60 W, 30 W, 15 W,
7.5 W, and transformer bypass
(8Ω). The tap switch will be set
to the highest 70.7 volt setting
from the factory (120 W).
7. Cover Plate
Place cover plate over the pocket
on the underside of the speaker
and secure with the 4 supplied
screws. This process will be the
same if you are using the conduit.
