All standard WET X Series loudspeakers come with an
attached SJOW rated input cable, 12' (4m) in length and
colored to match the enclosure. The cable enters the
enclosure through a waterproof gland nut. The other end
of the cable is un-terminated. Beyond this length, line-loss
calculations should be performed when selecting additional
wiring to prevent losses in output due to voltage drops
due to increased impedance. Please contact Community's
TAG Team (Technical Applications Group) for additional
assistance (email: [email protected], phone:

Canada).
q Wire the loudspeaker. A typical installation method is
to bring the cable into a waterproof junction box (J-box)
equipped with a waterproof gland nut. Connections within
the J-box may be made with barrel-type crimp connectors,
wire nuts, solder and heat-shrink, or terminal strips.
Terminate per your local electrical code.
We recommend using barrel-type crimp connectors that
are crimped with a forged crimp tool (such as Klein 1005)
or a ratcheting tool (such as Klein T1720), as this method,
when properly executed, results in a gas-tight connection
that is quick and easy to accomplish.
dangER: The output power capabilities of audio
amplifiers present a danger to installers especially
in 70.7V and 100V distributed systems. To minimize
the risk of electric shock from loudspeaker connecting
cables, confirm that the power amplifiers are turned "off"
before connecting loudspeaker cable(s) to the loudspeaker
or amplifier. Always follow local electrical codes and proper
electrical safety procedures.
WaRnIng: After wiring the amplifier(s) to the
loudspeaker(s), first power-up all devices that are
upstream of the amplifier, such as mixers,
equalizers, compressor/limiters, etc., before powering-up
the amplifier. This is to avoid passing any clicks or pops that
may originate in the upstream devices to the loudspeakers.
The amplifier should initially be powered-up with its gain
controls turned all the way down. After making sure that a
continuous signal is present, such as a CD playing, slowly
raise the level of the gain controls to establish that the wiring
has been installed correctly. Only then should the
loudspeaker be operated at normal output levels.
IMpORTanT: All electrical installation connections for loudspeaker lines are subject to all applicable
governmental building and fire codes. The selection of appropriate electrical hardware to interface with the
WET X loudspeaker lies solely with the installation professional. Community recommends that an appropriately
licensed engineer, electrician, or other qualified professional identify and select the appropriate conduit, fittings, wire,
etc. for the installation.

A WET X Series loudspeaker equipped with an optional
autoformer has four selectable power taps. These are set
at 100W, 200W, and 400W on a 70.7V systems, and 200W
and 400W on a 100V system. Choosing one of the four taps
governs how much amplifier power is available for each
loudspeaker. See Figure 5b.

All WET X models designated as bi-amped models do not
include a passive crossover and only offer an HF protection
capacitor. These units can be connected as seen in
