Optimizing Speaker Placement for Best Sound and Aesthetics
Rockustics recommends hanging your Coconutz in bunches of 2 or 4 units. To ensure your lovely bunch of Coconutz sounds
as good as it looks, hang them between 8’ and 12’ above ground level.
Be sure to account for the wires which will run from the speaker to your stereo or audio source. Camouflage wires by running
them behind dense tree leaves or wrapping them in colored tape.
Cautions and Maintenance
All Rockustics 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.
In the rare event the speaker grille holes accumulate a build up of debris (such as soil, dust or sand), the speaker may become
damaged. If build up does occur, simply rinse the grille holes with a garden hose set to a low pressure level. Accumulated
debris 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 cone. This includes 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.
Wiring Coconutz in Series
If installing 2 units of the Coconutz, follow the
wiring instructions in
Diagram F
for 2 speaker
connection. Wire one of each speaker to the left
and right channels of the amplifier respectively.
If installing 4 units of the Coconutz, then each pair
must be wired together in a series connection
to each channel of the amplifier. Follow the
wiring instructions in
Diagram G
for 4 speaker
connection.
