Welcome to the family.
Thank you for purchasing the best marine speakers in the world.
After years of development and testing, we are proud to introduce
the R1 Series marine speakers, built to outlast -and outperform -
every other marine speaker on the market. We at Roswell started a
revolution in the wakeboard industry back in 1998, and have since
expanded into marine audio and other branches of the marine
industry . Even now, nearly 20 years later, we continue to push the
boundaries.
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 redefine the marine industry day in and day
out. We will not be confined 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 R1 Series 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.

PREPARATION
For safety, turn off the audio system and batteryswitch prior to beginning installation.
If yourvesseldoes not have a battery switch, simplydisconnect the negative lead
from the battery terminal.
Use extremecaution before cutting and drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines,
hydraulic lines, or existing electricalcomponents.
If additionalwiring is required, we recommend using at least18 gauge wiring and
running all wires priorto installing the speaker. Longerruns mayrequire 16 gauge
wire to prevent negative impactson sound quality. Leave some slack in the wire to
allow for easierinstallation and to preventtension on the wire.
· Avoid running wires nearsharp edged surfaces. Neverrun wires exposed on the
deck, protecting the wires behind coveroffers the best protection from marine
elements. Ifwires must be routed through metal or fiberglass walls, use rubber
grommets to protect the wire.
• Allwiring should be done by a qualified marinetechnician.
NOTE: Consider how you would Like to use the integrated RGB LED before you
begin installation. It can either be hard-wired to one of 7 different colors ORyou
may purchase an LED controllerto allow anycombination of colors and patterns.
& WARNING &
These speakers are capable of easily producing sound
pressure levels (SPU 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.
