Speaker Layout Planning
The MAGROCKS2.1 SYSTEM is designed to deliver a seamless, evenly dispersed sound field in an open-air environment.
Each rock satellite speaker should be placed approximately 6 to 12 feet apart for the best coverage. To achieve the best balance between the satellites and woofer, the woofer should be placed as close to the center of the satellites as possible (see Figure 1.)
NOTE: THE MR10W WOOFER HAS BUILT-IN LOWPASS AND HIGH-PASS FILTERS THAT DIRECT THE BASS FREQUENCIES TO THE WOOFER AND THE REST OF THE SOUND TO YOUR SATELLITE SPEAKERS. THIS DRAMATICALLY IMPROVES THE SATELLITE SPEAKER’S POWER HANDLING.
Types of Wire
WIRE GAUGE CHART
Wire Gauge| DISTANCE
18 Gauge| Up to 100 feet (30 meters)
16 Gauge| Up to 150 feet (45 meters)
14 Gauge| Up to 250 feet (80 meters)
NOTE: 14/4 REFERS TO 14 GAUGE, 4-CONDUCTOR WIRE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE ONLY DIRECT BURIAL WIRE TO MAINTAIN LONG-TERM SIGNAL INTEGRITY AND PREVENT CORROSION. USING INDIVIDUAL CONDUCTORS WITH DIFFERENT COLORS MAKES IT EASY TO IDENTIFY AND ACCESS BOTH AMPLIFIER CHANNELS.
Connecting the System
-
Place the two rock satellites and the rock woofer in their approximate final locations.
-
Dig a 4” to 5” trench to run the speaker wires in. You will need to trench from an area nearest your amplifier to the MR10W woofer and then from the woofer to the two MR6 satellites. Be sure to check local codes for trenching limitations.
-
Run the appropriate gauge wire through the trench from your amplifier to the MR10W woofer. Connect those wires to the MR10W woofer (See Figure 2.)
NOTE: REGARDING THE 4 COLORED DIRECT BURIAL WIRE, THE RED (+) AND BLACK (-) ARE USED FOR THE RIGHT CHANNEL, AND THE WHITE (+) AND GREEN (-) ARE FOR THE LEFT CHANNEL. -
Connect the wires from the MR6 satellites to the MR10W woofer (see figure 2.)
-
After making all the connections at the MR10W woofer, connect the speaker wires to your amplifier.
NOTE: DOUBLE-CHECK THAT YOU HAVE CONNECTED ALL OF THE WIRES PROPERLY AMPLIFIER (+) TO SPEAKER (+); AMPLIFIER (–) TO SPEAKER (–) AT EACH OF THE CONNECTIONS. IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE WIRES BE CONNECTED CORRECTLY FOR BOTH CHANNELS. IF EITHER CHANNEL IS CONNECTED INCORRECTLY LITTLE TO NO LOW FREQUENCY SOUND WILL BE PRODUCED.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE NOT TO LET ANY STRAY (+) AND (–) WIRES TOUCH EACH OTHER. TOUCHING WIRES WILL CAUSE A SHORT-CIRCUIT WHICH COULD DAMAGE YOUR AMPLIFIER. -
After confirming that you have properly made all of the connections, turn your amplifier on and test the system with your favorite music. If the speakers are all operating properly, refill the wire trenches and using the supplied screws, attach the wire termination cover plate to the connector panel on the bottom of the RK10W enclosure. The cover plate will keep moisture from damaging the connections.
