Wiring Diagram
The CB5 speakers all come equipped with high voltage (70V)
transformers and may also be run in an 8Ω direct mode. The
speaker comes with hard wire leads for the two options. See
the figures below for typical 70V and 8Ω wiring configurations

1. Layout Design
Determine the layout of your
system. Place each speaker
in the general location it will
be installed. Also place your
amplifier where it will be
installed.
2. Digging
Dig a hole sufficient to bury
the speaker(s) to the correct
depth (noted above) and
to also accomodate 2-3”
of gravel or crushed rock
under the speaker housing.

3. 8Ω Wiring
Locate the green and white wires. Disconnect the red wire from
the green wire and the black wire from the white wire. Connect
the positive (+) lead from the amp to the green wire on the CB5,
then connect the negative (-) lead from the amp to the white wire
on the CB5.
You will NOT use the red, black, yellow, or blue
wires in an 8Ω installation. Simply tape or cap them off.

Speaker Installation
Rockustics recommends using either 14 gauge or 16 gauge
direct-burial wire. It is best to lay out the wire to each of the
intended speaker locations before installing the speakers.

configuration
4. Test
Fully wire the rest of your
system and test to make
sure sound is coming from
each unit.
5. Bury Speakers
Place your speakers in each
hole, and aim in the desired
direction. Begin filling back
up. Be sure the speaker is
deep enough in the ground
that the wire(s) can be
buried at least 2” below
final landscaping. Pack
down the dirt.
IMPORTANT:
Remember to
NOT cover the port with dirt
so your speaker functions
properly.
