A Suggestion
Your Rocket Outdoor Series speakers are carefully hand-packaged utilizing
molded foam inserts to protect it in shipping. When removing your speakers
take care not to exert pressure on the front grilles.
We strongly recommend that you save the foam inserts and shipping cartons
to protect your speakers, should you ever need to move or ship them to a
new location.

Section 1-Items Included
Your new Rocket Outdoor Series speakers includes just about everything to get you up and
running in a few short minutes:
• Pair of Rocket Outdoor speakers
• Pair of mounting brackets
However, listed below are a few things you will
need to complete proper installation. Should you
have any questions about those items below or
where to find them, feel free to call our support
staff at any time.
• Receiver or preamp/processor and ampli-
fier.
• An audio source such as a DVD / CD
player.
• Speaker wire – 14 gauge or higher
(smaller # = larger wire).
1.1 Tools Required
• Drill with bit
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Screws made for the material you are
mounting to.
Section 2-Placement
To achieve the best performance your Outdoor
Series speakers have to offer, there are a few
guidelines to follow.
• Mount both speakers on the same wall or
overhang
• Ensure the speakers are not facing each
other
• Try to place the speakers at least 7’ apart
Section 3-Choosing Speaker Wire
Be sure to use the proper gauge or thickness for
the length of your run. We recommend 14ga.
wire for runs up to 40’. Over 40’, use 12ga. You
can find standard ‘zip cord’ (2-conductor copper
wire) at most hardware stores. For the ultimate
protection from the elements, use Onix SP-200
wire. It’s superior shielding and triple-thick
jacket will last many many years in harsh environments. SP-200 meets in-wall ratings but if
you do wish to run the wire in the walls or
underground, be sure to check with local building
code requirements.
Section 4-Installing Mounting
Brackets
You can mount your speakers with the supplied
brackets horizontally or vertically or set them on a
table or railing; whatever works best for you. For
patios and backyards, under the roof overhang
works well. Try to place the speakers at least 7’
apart.
4.1 Installing the Brackets on the
Exterior of a House
Begin by marking the holes to be drilled. You can
easily make a template of the holes using the
bracket. Place a sheet of paper over the back of
the bracket and make a pencil rubbing. Hold this
rubbing up to the surface to determine the hole
spacing. For wood installations, drill two pilot
holes. Next, install the screws. Do not tighten
the screws down all the way, leave them out
about 1/8”. Now you can slide the bracket onto
the screws and tighten.
4.2 Attaching the Speaker
to the Bracket
When you install the speakers, you want the
tweeters on the inside (closer to each other). Insert the knob into each side of the speaker and
tighten a few turns. Now attach the speaker wire
while the binding posts are in an easy to reach
position. You can position the angle of the
speaker and then tighten the knobs fully. Take a
few steps back and ensure the both speakers are
on the same angle.
Section 5-Cleaning
Use a damp cloth to clean your speakers. If you
need a little more cleaning power, add a mild detergent to the cloth. It is OK to spray the speakers with a hose but be sure to use low pressure.
Section 6-Protecting the
Speaker Wire
The bare copper ends of the speaker wire will
oxidize with exposure to the elements. You can
crimp on gold plated banana plugs, pins or
spades to protect them. Alternatively, if you do
not plan on removing the speakers on a regular
basis, you can use a silicone caulking material
over the connections. Be sure the speaker wire
is tightly fastened before applying the caulking.
Cover the binding posts and wire. You can always remove the silicone later if you need to
move the
speakers.
Section 7-Painting the Speakers
You can paint the speakers with any paint suitable for plastic. Be sure to use a ‘wax and
grease remover’ to clean the speakers before
painting.
Section 8-Specifications and Your
Outdoor Speaker
Warranty
Your speakers should now be fully set up, and
configured for optimum performance. We hope
this information has been straightforward and
easy to follow. However, should you have any
