Please read the following instructions carefully before installing
your Rockustics ® Planter speaker. If you have any questions
regarding installation that are not answered in the following
directions, please contact your local sound contractor or the
Rockustics ® /MSE Audio ® technical support team.
Basic Wiring & Set Up
1)
(Diagram
A) Locate the speaker wires on the underside of
the planter. If necessary, trim the wire to the appropriate length
and strip the wire ends. Use the supplied silicone wire nut to
connect the positive (red) leads of the speaker and input wires.
Repeat this step with the negative (black) leads. Rockustics
recommends using 14ga or heavier direct burial cable for the
connection between the amplifier and the speakers.
2)
(Diagram
B) Fill planter with pea-gravel to approximately 2"
above the black insert box to ensure proper drainage. Gently
rock the planter from side to side so that gravel fills in the gaps,
providing ample coverage of the black insert box. After filling
with pea-gravel, top with soil, and continue planting as you
would any normal planter. Be sure to the use the proper amount
of pea-gravel and soil to fill the planter; the soil and gravel are
important to the acoustic properties of the planter and will assist
with bass reproduction.
NOTE: The provided wire nuts are meant for permanent
installation use only. If you are temporarily wiring the speakers,
do not use these wire nuts. In the event you have used the
wire nuts and need to re-wire your system, do not attempt to
unscrew the nuts. Instead, clip the wires below the nut, and
follow the steps in the

Optimizing Speaker Placement for Best Sound
All Rockustics speakers can generate a high SPL (sound
pressure level). Be ready to rock, but be considerate of your
neighbors! Maximum acoustic performance should be an
important factor in determining speaker placement. Here is how
to achieve it:
1) Establish where the most likely or average listening
position will be.
2) The speakers should be placed at or close to the same
distance from that point.
3) The actual distance between the listening position and
the location of the speakers is not critical. However, keep
in mind that as the distance between listening area and
speaker is increased, there will be a noticeable decrease
in perceived volume.

4) Be sure to confirm amp power matches the power rating
on the speaker. Over-driving the speaker can lead to
permanent damage that is not covered under warranty.
