Maintaining Weather-Resistance

There are several things that must be observed when installing an R2SUB in order to maintain its weather-resistant integrity

for outdoor use.

Always orient the loudspeaker so the mouth of the horn is, at a minimum, pointing slightly downward. Failure to

do this will result in water collecting inside the bell of the horn.

When handling an R2SUB be careful not to scratch or scrape the powder coat finish on the perforated metal grille.

This finish on the grille protects the steel from corrosion. If the finish is scratched or otherwise cut into in any way,

the underlying steel will corrode at the point where the integrity of the finish has been violated.

All five mounting holes must be sealed off with the stainless steel bolts, washers, and rubber washers supplied. If,

for any reason, these bolts must be removed, seal off the hole with silicone caulking or some other suitable

weather-tight sealant.

The rubber washers supplied with the mounting bolts must always seat against the enclosure.

The gland-nut securing the loudspeaker cable to the enclosure is sealed at the factory. Do not attempt to remove

this nut or the weather-tight seal will be broken. If it is desired to replace the gland-nut with a jack, the jack must

be a weatherproof design. It must be suitably sealed to the enclosure with silicone caulk or some other suitable

weather-tight sealant.

The grille assembly is designed to prevent normal and wind-driven rain from directly entering the mouth of the

loudspeaker. The grille is not designed to withstand such things as being directly sprayed from a hose; therefore

this should be avoided.

If you use any hardware in place of the stainless steel screws, bolts, nuts and washers supplied, it should also be

made of stainless steel.

Caution: If the above instructions are not observed, the weather-resistant integrity of an R2SUB can be compromised. This

can result in damage to or failure of the hardware or internal components.
