Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Sonance Rock Speakers. When properly
installed, these speakers will provide you with years of outdoor
entertainment pleasure. To get the most out of your new speakers,
please read this manual thoroughly before you begin installation.

Box Contents

Sonance Rock Speaker boxes contain two (2) Rock Speakers.

Connecting the Speakers

1. Determine the locations for the speakers and estimate the
length of additional wire you will need for each speaker.
(Sonance Rock Speakers feature a wide angle of coverage —
only a few speakers are needed to cover a large area with
sound.)

HEN PURCHASING ADDITIONAL WIRE, SONANCE

STRONGLY RECOMMENDS USING DIRECT BURIAL GRADE WIRE.

2. Dig a 4” – 5” deep trench to run the speaker wires in.

3. Run the wire through the trench from your amplifier to the
speaker locations. Do not connect the wires to the amplifier
at this time.

4. Connect the speaker wires you ran from your amplifier to
the wires that came attached to the speakers (see Figure 1).
Sonance recommends using waterproof wire nuts
(not included) to secure the wires.

IMPORTANT: BE SURE NOT TO LET ANY STRAY ‘+’ AND ‘–’

STRANDS TOUCH EACH OTHER. TOUCHING STRANDS CAN CAUSE
A SHORT

-CIRCUIT THAT COULD DAMAGE YOUR AMPLIFIER.

5. After you have made the above connections, connect the
wires to your amplifier.

NOT E: CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE CONNECTED SPEAKER “+” TO

AMPLIFIER “+” AND SPEAKER “–” TO AMPLIFIER “–”.

6. Turn your amplifier on and test the system with your favorite

music. If the speakers are operating properly, refill the wire
trench and enjoy your new speakers.
