    INTRODUCTION Congratulations on purchasing SpeakerCraft's Ruckus 8 Sub System landscape speakers. We would like to think of them as simulated rocks containing speakers, not rock speakers. This is because the Ruckus Subs look more like real rocks. Thanks to a new revolutionary process, the speaker remains completely unseen behind a grille that matches the Ruckus surface and texture.

    AMPLIFIER PLACEMENT • Place the amplifier with the feet resting on a solid flat level surface. • Place the amplifier in a well-vented area to provide proper cooling. In areas that lack proper ventilation, such as tight cabinets or racks, it may be necessary to install small fans to create air movement. DON’T: • Don’t block the ventilation holes on the top or bottom of the amplifier. Never place it on carpeting or similar material. • Don’t place the amplifier in any other position other than horizontal with the feet down. Never place on its side or resting on the back where the terminals are located. • Don’t place the amplifier near heat sources, or in an area that it would be exposed to moisture or excessive humidity. YOU SHOULD KNOW • The power supply may cause a hum to be heard in some components if they are placed very close to the amplifier.
