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 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 for 70V/100V Applications
For speakers with transformers, use
Diagram C
to find the proper wire selection for your desired tap setting. Once the desired
tap setting is confirmed, trim the unused wires to minimize corrosion. For harsh and wet environments, it is recommended to
apply a bead of silicone to the end of the unused wires for added protection.
If daisy-chaining, follow wire preparations as outlined in the
Basic Wiring
section. Review
Diagram E
for a typical daisy-chain
wiring system for 70V and 100V applications. Be sure to connect the wires going to the next speaker in the chain as shown in
Diagram D
. There should be three pairs of wires at each speaker, but the last speaker in the chain will only have two pair. Follow
standard protocol for polarity and make sure all units are wired with the same polarity.
