APPENDIX A
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.
