Safety Instructions Installation
Mounting Options
1. Please read the instructions carefully before installation and use. Keep the manual for future
reference.
2. When installing the speaker outside do not submerge or place them in direct contact with
water ( ponds, water features or fountains).
3. Handle with care, damage to the speaker may occur if dropped or mishandled - resulting in
loss of sound or poor sound quality.
4. Use only approved and certied wiring in your installation. Do not stretch or place the wire
where it may come in contact with sharp objects.
5. Never overdrive your speakers to the point of distortion and always reduce the volume level
prior to switching input sources (FM to CD etc...).
6. Prior to removing any cables ensure all power to your amplier and other components is
turned OFF.
7. Turn off the power to the speaker when unused for any long period of time.
The FORZA 6 Eclipse can be mounted in various ways shown below to suit your application
and installation needs.
Dig a hole 12” in diameter and 6” deep. (If installing with
optional stake, dig a hole 12” in diameter and 16” deep.)
Level the speaker in the hole then backll with clean sand
or soil being sure that the grill drain hole remains at least
1” above grade. Compact the sand/soil to make sure the
speaker will not shift or settle over time.
Note: Hard to dig areas may benet from a gas-powered
handheld 12” auger (may be rented locally).
Spacing Guidelines
Maximum distance between speakers: 20’
Minimum distance between speakers: 8’
Speaker Coverage Guidelines
Each Eclipse speaker can cover 50-150 sqft of listening
space.
Creating Listening Areas
For larger listening areas, surround the area with speakers
equal distance from the prime listening position,
crisscrossing or alternating the left and right channels.
For smaller listening areas, simply aim speakers in toward
the listening positions.
Speaker Placement:
Above Ground - Open area
Large and open sound stage with a clean and leaner
frequency balance.
Above Ground - Near a rear wall surface
Large and open sound stage with a clean and fuller
frequency balance.
Buried Vertical
Medium sound stage with a heavier bass balance.
Connect
Be sure to use the correct polarity between the amplier and
speaker to ensure proper sound quality and performance.
Positive to Positive & Negative to Negative
Tranformer settings are adjustable by aligning the pigtail
wire connector with the corresponding letter on the back
of the speaker. Use the white indicator line on the plug
to select the correct setting for your application. The
white line should be pointing at the desired setting when
plugged in. (see settings chart)
The example below shows the connector in the 8 Ohm
position. NOTE: the white indicator line is pointing at the
8 Ohm symbol on the back of the speaker.
