unpackIng and InSpEcTIOn
Community WET X loudspeakers are engineered and manufactured to be rugged and they are carefully packed in sturdy cartons. Make sure that the number of cartons shown on the freight documents have actually been delivered. It is wise to thoroughly inspect each unit after it has been removed from the packaging, as damage could occur during shipping.
Please note that once the shipment has left your dealer location or the Community factory, the responsibility for damage is always borne by the freight company. If damage has occurred during shipping, you must file a claim directly with the freight company. It’s very important to contact the freight company as soon as possible after receiving your shipment, as most freight companies have a short time limit within which they will investigate claims. Be sure to save the carton and the packing material, as most claims will be denied if these materials are not retained. Your Community dealer and the factory will try to help in any way they can, but it is the responsibility of the party receiving the shipment to file the damage claim.
It is always a good idea to retain the carton and packing materials indefinitely, if possible, in the event that the unit may need to be returned to your dealer or distributor for repair in the future.

The WET X family is comprised of two (2) standard models
(12" and 15" two-way models) with six (6) horn pattern options. There is a standard subwoofer model (dual-18" LF drivers) available in a down-fire configuration. All models are available in a standard black or white gel-coat finish with options for custom colors that can be specially ordered.
The 304SS mounting bracket and grille are color matched to the cabinet for all models. The hardware and mounts for the down-fire subwoofer are also color matched to the enclosure. Hardware required to mount the bracket to the installation surface must be supplied by the customer.
The 12-inch and 15-inch cabinets are a modified trapezoidal shape to emulate a traditional wooden enclosure, and have a rounded rear panel. They are comprised of a fiberglass outer shell and face that are internally lined and reinforced with 18mm (7-layer) marine grade plywood. This lining and reinforcement allows for improved low frequency performance as well as a stronger, less resonant enclosure.
dangER: It is essential that a safety cable
(not supplied) be utilized whenever a WET X
Loudspeaker is installed. The safety cable must be secured to a suitable load-bearing point separate from the loudspeaker mounting point, with as little slack as possible so as not to develop undue kinetic force if the WET X bracket were to fail. The WET X full-range loudspeakers include a 1/2"-13 mounting point on the rear of the cabinet for this purpose.

RIggIng / SuSpEnSIOn and SaFETy
TERMInOlOgy: The terms “rigging", “flying" and
“suspension" are often used interchangeably to describe the installation of loudspeaker systems above ground level.
None of these terms pertain to, or attempt to describe, the actual method that is used (cables, brackets, chains, etc.).
dangER: The loudspeakers described in this manual are designed and intended to be suspended using a variety of rigging hardware, means, and methods. It is essential that all installation work involving the suspension of these loudspeaker products be performed by competent, knowledgeable persons who understand safe rigging practices. Severe injury and/or loss of life may occur if these products are improperly suspended.
dangER: All rigging fittings and inserts must remain sealed with the included hardware or they must be fitted with properly rated optional mounting hardware. Any missing fasteners will compromise the weather resistance of the enclosure. cOMMunITy RIggIng haRdWaRE WaRRanTy:
Community warrants that its loudspeaker systems and its optional mounting and rigging hardware have been carefully designed and tested. Community loudspeakers may be safely suspended when each loudspeaker model is suspended with Community-manufactured mounting and rigging brackets specifically designed for use with that particular model of loudspeaker. This warranty applies only for use under normal environmental conditions, and when all loudspeakers, component parts, brackets and hardware are assembled and installed in strict accordance with Community’s installation guidelines contained herein.
Beyond this, Community assumes no further or extended responsibility or liability, in any way or by any means whatsoever. It is the responsibility of the installer to insure that safe installation practices are followed, and that such practices are in accordance with any and all local, state, federal, or other, codes, conditions, and regulations that may apply to, or govern the practice of, rigging, mounting, and construction work in the relevant geographic territory. Any modifications made to any parts or materials manufactured or supplied by Community shall immediately void all pledges of warranty or surety, related in any way to the safe use of those parts and materials.
WaRnIng nOn-cOMMunITy RIggIng haRdWaRE:
Non-Community hardware used for rigging a
WET X loudspeaker must be certified by the supplier for such use and must be properly rated to maintain an appropriate design factor (safety margin).
IMpORTanT nOTES On RIggIng lOudSpEakERS
There are three areas of responsibility for rigging loudspeakers. The first is the building structure. Always consult with the building architect or structural engineer to assure the ability of the structure to support the loudspeaker system. The second area of responsibility is the loudspeaker itself. Community certifies its loudspeaker systems and rigging accessories for suspension when they are properly installed according to our published guidelines.
The third area of responsibility is everything between the loudspeaker and the building structure and the actual process of installation. The installing contractor assumes this responsibility. Loudspeaker rigging should be performed only by certified rigging professionals using certified rigging hardware chosen for the specific application. Prior to installation, the contractor should present a rigging plan, with drawing and detailed parts list, to a licensed structural engineer (P.E.) or architect for written approval.
WaRnIng: WET X rigging fittings are rated at a
Working Load Limit of 200 lbs (90.7 kg) with a 10:1 design factor. No single rigging fitting should ever be subjected to a load that is greater than 200 lbs. Failure to heed this warning could result in injury or death!
dangER: Use the mounting points only as described above. Do not use them in such a way as to apply sideways leverage to them. Failure to follow this instruction could result in immediate failure of the mounting points resulting in damage to the loudspeaker and serious injury or death to personnel.

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:
(610) 876-3400, or toll-free (800) 523-4934 in the US and
Canada).
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.

The safety cable must be secured to a suitable load-bearing point separate from the loudspeaker mounting point, with as little slack as possible, so as not to develop undue kinetic force if the WET X mounting were to fail.
MaInTaInIng WEaThER RESISTancE guIdElInES FOR WET X OuTdOOR uSE
WET X is suitable for outdoor installation when used as recommended. For best results in outdoor applications, follow these guidelines:
• Always orient the loudspeaker so the mouth of the horn is, at a minimum, pointing at least 5 degrees downward. Failure to do this could result in water collecting inside the enclosure under extreme weather conditions.
• When handling a WET X loudspeaker, be careful not to scratch or scrape the finish on the grille or enclosure.
• All 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 be placed between the mounting bracket and 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 you have to replace the gland-nut, it must be a weatherproof design. It also must be suitably sealed to the enclosure with silicone caulk or a comparable 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 or pressure washer; therefore this should be avoided.
• If you use any hardware in place of hardware provided with your WET X loudspeaker, it should also be made of stainless steel.

FIEld SERVIcE
Any driver or crossover service required is accessed from the front of the enclosure by removing the front grille and removal of the LF driver or the horn assembly. Take note of wiring positions prior to removing any drivers from the loudspeaker. In order to maintain the weather resistance, components and assemblies must not remain removed from the loudspeaker any longer than needed for replacement.
Exposure of internal components to the elements for extended periods could cause failures and void the warranty on the loudspeaker.
For warranty repair, contact Community directly at
610-876-3400 or ask us for the location of your nearest

If the product is damaged during transit you must file a damage claim directly with the freight company. It’s very important to contact the freight company as soon as possible after receiving your shipment, as most freight companies have a short time limit within which they will investigate claims. Be sure to save the carton and packing materials, as damage claims can be denied if these materials are not retained. If evidence of physical damage exists upon arrival, be cautious before signing the delivery acceptance receipt.
Often, the fine print will waive your right to file a claim for damage or loss after you sign it. Make sure that the number of cartons shown on the freight documents have actually been delivered.
