Welcome

to

the

family.

Thank you

for

purchasing

the

best

marine

subwoofer

in

the

world.

After

years

of

development

and

testing,

we

are

proud

to

introduce

the

R1

Series

marine

subwoofers,

built

to

outlast

-

and

outperform

-

every

other

marine

subwoofer

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

Roswell

and

keep

an

eye

out

for

more

dominating

technology

throughout

PREPARATION

For safety, turn offthe audio system and batteryswitch prior

to

beginning installation.

If

yourvesseldoes not have a batteryswitch, simply disconnect

the

negative lead

from

the

battery terminal.

Use extreme caution before cutting and drilling holes

to

avoid damaging

fuel

lines,

hydraulic lines,

or

existing electricalcomponents.

If

additionalwiring

is

required,

we

recommend using at least16 gaugewiring and

running allwires prior

to

installing the speaker. Longer runs mayrequire

12

gauge

wire

to

prevent negative impacts on sound quality.Leave

some

slack in

the

wire

to

allow for easier installation and

to

preventtension on the wire.

· Avoid running wires nearsharp

edged

surfaces. Never run 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.

•

All

wiring should

be

done

by

a qualified marine technician.

NOTE: Consider

how

you

would

like

to

use

the

integrated

RGB

LED beforeyou

begin installation.

It

can

either

be

hard-wired

to

one

of

7 differentcolors

OR

you

may

purchase an LED controller

to

allow

any

combination

of

colors

and

patterns.

&

WARNING

&

These

speakers

are

capable

of

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. Use safe listening

practices

and

protect

your

ears.

To

ensureyoursub-woofer

installation

results in

the

highestpossible

performance,

please

carefully

note thefollowing information

The

R1

subwoofers

are

designed

to

be

extremely

flexible

and

are

able

to

work

in a

variety

of

enclosures,

including

no

enclosure

at

all. This is

referred

to

as an

'infinite

baffle'

or

'free-air'

installation.

In

an

infinite

baffle

configuration,

the

key

to

good

sound

is

ensuring

the

sound

wave

coming

from

the

front

of

the

speaker

cone

is

acoustically

isolated

from

the

sound

wave

coming

from

the

rear

of

the

cone.

In

other

words,

if

your

chosen

mounting

location

is

located

near

a

vent.

door,

or

any

permanent

opening

allowing

the

free

movement

of

air

from

the

inside

(rear

of

the

cone)

to

the

outside

(front

of

the

cone),

you

will

likely

experience

poor

output

as

the

low-frequency

sound

waves

run

into

each

other

and

cancel

each

other

out.

If

you

do

not

have

a

location

that

allows

for

good

isolation

of

the

front

and

rear

sound

waves,

we

recommend

installing

your

R1

subwoofer

in

the

largest

sealed

enclosure

that

is

practical

to

fit

in

your

chosen

installation

location.

However,

a

ported

enclosure

will

allow

for

greater

output,

on

average

offering

a +3dB

increase

over

a

sealed

enclosure,

with

the

tradeoff

being

that

the

enclosure

is

more

complex

to

design

and

build.

If

you

wish

to

build

a

ported

enclosure,

see

the

table

on

the

for

some

recommended

enclosure

configurations.

&

WARNING

&

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 efficient, durable and provide a better sounding system.
