CRK10 ROCK SPEAKERS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Sonance CRK10 rock speakers. When
properly installed, this product will provide you with years of
entertainment pleasure.
To obtain the full potential of the Sonance rock speakers, please read
all instructions before starting the installation.
PARTS LIST
Each Sonance CRK10 rock speaker package includes the following
items:
(2) Sonance CRK10 rock speakers
(1) Meter of wire with each speaker
INSTALLING THE SPEAKER
PN. 33-2553 3.02
WIRE GAUGE AND QUALITY
The total wire resistance should be less than 10% of the speaker
impedance. The Sonance CRK10 rock speaker is a nominal 8 ohm
speaker, so your total wire resistance should be no more than 0.8
ohms.
In simple terms, the extra resistance from the wire will have a very
negative affect on the sound quality of the speaker. The sound can be
less dynamic, definition of bass frequencies can be reduced, and in
extreme cases, the high frequencies can be attenuated. Amplifier
power is also wasted in the wire, reducing the maximum output level
of the system.
Please refer to the following chart when deciding on the appropriate
wire gauge for your installation.

Dig a trench to run your speaker wire in.
Once you have decided on locations for
your speakers dig a 4" to 5" trench to each
speaker location for the speaker wire.
Step 1
Attach the wires from your Sonance CRK10
rock speakers to the terminals on the back
of your amplifier.
Double check the polarity of the speaker
wires for both the left and right channel,
amplifier + to speaker + and amplifier - to
speaker -.
Step 3
Run the wire through the trench to the
location of your amplifier.
Note: When connecting the additional wire
be sure to use water tight wire connectors.
Step 2
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.
Step 4
Decide on the location of the speakers.
Also estimate the length of additional
speaker wire you will need.
The Sonance CRK10 rock speakers feature
a wide angle of coverage. A few speakers
will cover a large area with sound.
Note: When purchasing additional wire
direct burial grade is strongly
recommended.
