OWNER’S MANUAL
SINGLE STEREO ROCK SPEAKERS
R800TTg • R800TTs
SPEAKER INSTALLATION
• Each R800TT Single Stereo Rock Speaker has a four-conductor cable exiting the bottom of the speaker. One pair, White (+) and
Green (–), is for the left channel. The other pair, Red (+) and Black (–), is for the right channel. This cable should be connected to
a similar cable run to the speaker location from your audio system. Proficient recommends using 14 AWG certified direct burial
cable that is ideal for this purpose. The cable can be run either directly beneath the speaker into the ground, or you can use the
notch on the bottom of the cabinet to exit the cable out the side.
• Alternately, the R800TT can be wired in parallel (4Ω) and used in mono if two speakers are used, one for left and one for
right channel, and the amplifier can drive 4Ω.
• When attaching wire to the R800TT Single Stereo Rock Speaker, it is critical that a high quality connection is achieved. A poor
connection may lead to corrosion and a decline in or loss of performance. For best results, use a set of weatherproof wirenuts.
Another option is to use a watertight direct burial box or crimp or solder the wires together and use a heat shrink tube to seal
each connector.
• Each R800TT Single Stereo Rock Speaker includes an integrated anti-theft ring located at the bottom of each cabinet. This ring
will allow you to attach a security harness to it.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
• If you desire music over a wide area, it is best to have a larger number of speakers playing at low volume, rather than a few speakers playing at high volume. Keep this in mind when designing your outdoor system.
• Ideally, you should place the speakers as close to the primary listening area as possible. The perceived volume of the speaker decreases rapidly as it is moved further from the listener.
• Avoid placing the speakers where the grille area will come in direct contact with water from sprinklers.
• Direct burial wire or conduit for new yard construction must be run to the location of the speakers. Keep in mind that patios, walls and other features in your yard may be difficult to get around when wiring.
• The R800TT is intended to be used as a single stereo speaker in a small listening environment. In a large outdoor area, it may be necessary to utilize additional speakers to achieve optimal effect.
CAUTION
Although they are designed to withstand the elements, there are precautions you should take to optimize the long-term performance of your speakers. Keep soil and wood chips from covering the speaker grille. If soil accumulates on the grille, it can be rinsed away with low water pressure. Chemicals commonly used in the yard can potentially damage the rubber parts of the speaker. Avoid spraying such chemicals onto or near the speaker. Also avoid placing the speakers where the grille area will come in direct contact with sprinklers.

This warranty is not transferable to subsequent owners of the product. If you discover a defect in material or workmanship within the Warranty Period, you can obtain warranty service by contacting Proficient during the Warranty Period at 877.888.9004 or [email protected] or by sending the product to Proficient at 940 Columbia Avenue, Riverside, CA 92507 or to the dealer from whom you purchased the product. Defective products must be shipped, prepaid and insured, together with proof of purchase. Warranty service requests made without proof of date of purchase will be denied. Freight collect shipments will be refused. It is preferable to ship this product in the original shipping container to lessen the chance of transit damage. In any case, the risk of loss or damage in transit is to be borne by the purchaser.
If, upon examination by Proficient or its authorized dealer, it is determined that the unit is in fact defective, Proficient will, at its option:
• Repair or replace the product at no additional charge; or
• If the model is no longer available and can not be repaired effectively, replace the unit with a current model of equal or greater value. In some cases where a new model is substituted, a modification to the mounting surface may be required.

ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. In no event will Proficient be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the product, even if Proficient has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party. Notwithstanding the above, if you qualify as a “consumer” under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, then you may be entitled to any implied warranties allowed by law for the Warranty Period. Further, some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied Limited Warranty lasts or allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so such limitations may not apply to you.
