USING THE RAIN HOOD

(WEATHER-PROTECTED LOUDSPEAKERS)

If your 600-HP loudspeaker was ordered with optional

weather protection, a rain hood is provided to protect the

loudspeaker’s electronics from direct exposure to rainfall.

The rain hood frame will be pre-installed. Before using the

600-HP loudspeaker, install the rain hood as described in

the following procedure.

1. On the rear of the enclosure, position the transparent

polycarbonate rain hood against the rain hood frame

that surrounds the ampliﬁer user panel; make sure that

the gasket is in place around the inside edge of the

hood.

2. Line up the wing-nut clips with the holes in the rain-

hood frame, press in one on the left and right side, and

twist a quarter turn clockwise.

3. Press in and twist the remaining four clips on the sides

and top of the rain hood.

REMOVING THE HP-2/600 AMPLIFIER

If you need to remove the amplifier from a 600-HP

subwoofer, perform the following steps:

1. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove all eight screws

from the amplifier module. This will free the HP-2/600

electronics module from the cabinet (Figure A.3). If the

rainhood frame is installed, remove the frame from the

user panel.

CAUTION: Make sure to disconnect

the AC mains from ampliﬁer before

removing it from the enclosure.

Replacing the HP-2/600 Amplifier

To replace the amplifier, do the following:

1. Gently slide the amplifier partially back into 600-HP and

connect the loudspeaker connector.

TIP: Avoid pinching wires behind the fans;

if necessary, reach in and guide the wire(s)

toward you as you slide the ampliﬁer into place.

2. Start all eight screws into the holes before tightening

them.

3. Once all eight screws are started, tighten them using a

#2 Phillips screwdriver.

4. Tighten the inner four screws first, then tighten the

remaining four corners.

NOTE: If the rainhood frame needs to be

installed, start and tigthen only the 4 inner

screws, then attach the frame to the user panel

using the long screws for the corners

CAUTION: Never use power tools in high

torque settings to remove or replace the

stainless steel amplifier and/or rain hood screws on

the 600-HP loudspeaker.
