Wiring the RK6T2 and RK8T2

The RK6T2 and RK8T2 are essentially a pair of stereo speakers in one enclosure. They have two tweeters and a woofer with a double-wound voice coil. They can be wired to operate as a single speaker or as a “pair” of stereo speakers. How you use them depends on the physical layout of your area.

Using the example in the speaker placement illustration, you might connect the speakers facing the patio area as stereo speakers. They are placed so that they will not produce a typical stereo image. Wiring those speakers so that each is a self-contained stereo speaker will provide the next best option – the best overall sound coverage from both channels.
