Roswell’s Classic Vamp Spin speakers are back and better than ever. We took our famous spin speaker and
re-worked it, featuring updated grills and LED lighting, as well as improving the surface nishes on the housings to
help the speakers hold up even better in a marine environment. We paired our 6510 speaker with it's 5010
counterpart, wired in parallel and connected with our patented Spin Speaker technology, allowing you to rotate
the outer speaker a full 180º through 11 dierent positions. Integrated white LED lighting in the speakers add a
special touch to make your experience on the water even more exciting.
We are fully committed to going past industry expectations every day to make your boating experience more
enjoyable. With the input of our dealers, team riders, and boaters around the world, our goal remains to redene
the marine industry day in and day out. We will not be conned to our desks; we are out on the water testing our
full line of products to ensure your days on the water are as hassle-free and enjoyable as possible.
The all-new Vamp Spin is simply the latest iteration of that commitment. Thanks again for choosing Roswell and
keep an eye out for more dominating technology throughout the season.
If you have any questions about your speakers or questions regarding installation, please contact your authorized
Roswell dealer. If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at (321)-638-1331 or by

Preparation
Tower and boat Wiring (not included)
• For safety, turn o the audio system and battery switch prior to beginning installation. If your vessel does not have a battery switch,
simply disconnect the positive lead from the battery terminal and wrap the end of the wire in electrical tape.
• Use extreme caution before cutting and drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines, hydraulic lines, or existing electrical
components. Avoid running wires near sharp edged surfaces. Never run wires exposed on the deck, protecting the wires with a
cover oers the best protection from marine elements. If wires must be routed through metal or berglass walls, use rubber
grommets to protect the wire.
• Roswell recommends using 16 gauge wire for the audio connections and 18 gauge wire for the 12-volt LED connections.
• You will need to supply a length of positive and negative 16 gauge speaker wire to run from your speaker mounting locations to
your amp or head unit. Connections to either an amp or head unit are your responsibility to provide. If wiring to a head unit, be
sure that the head unit is 2 ohm stable.
Positioning
• We suggest mounting your speakers on the rear crossbar of your tower facing backwards. Many people position them further to
the sides of the tower to have more headroom when moving around inside the boat. Make sure you have enough clearance around
the rotating speaker so that it won’t come into contact with anything throughout its 180 degrees of travel.
Wire Routing
• Consider how you will route your wires before you begin your installation. Because each boat and tower setup is dierent, there are
no specic instructions for wiring the tower – generally most people will run the wires internally through their tower. Alternatively,
some people choose to run their wires outside the tower using zip ties or another attachment system. The choice is yours.
• All wiring should be done by a qualied marine technician.
Tubing Size
• These speakers include three dierent inserts for the tubing clamp: 3.00”, 2.375”and 1.90”. If your tower requires a clamp insert not
provided please contact Roswell at 1(321)-638-1331 for optional inserts. Alternative sizes available are: 2.85”, 2.50“ and 2.25”
WARNING
• These speakers are capable of easily producing sound pressure levels (SPL) in excess of 100 dB, even in an open-air environment
like a boat. Sound pressures at or above these levels can easily cause permanent hearing damage or loss. Be sure to use safe
listening practices and protect your ears.
• Roswell recommends audio components be professionally tuned for optimal performance and lifespan. Improper tuning can
damage speakers and IS NOT covered by warranty. A professional audio installer can make your system more ecient, durable and
provide a better sounding system.
