Introduction
The Rockville WB65KLS are 6.5-inch metal marine LED wakeboard speakers designed for boats, ATVs, UTVs, and other outdoor setups. They feature 360-degree swivel mounts, built-in LED lighting, and a wireless RF remote for light control. This guide will walk you through:
- Mounting the speakers
- Connecting the LED lighting
- Wiring the speakers to an amplifier
- Using the wireless RF remote
What’s Included
- Two WB65KLS speakers
- Four non-slip rubber pads (two with holes, two without)
- Wireless RF remote (for LED control)
Step 1: Mounting the Speakers
- Adjust the Swivel Mounts
- Remove the top part of the mount using a 6mm Allen key.
- This will expose the swivel adjustment bolt inside.
- Use a 10mm Allen key to loosen or tighten the bolt to adjust the speaker position.
- Install the Non-Slip Rubber Pads
- Place the rubber pad with the hole on the bottom mount (helps adjust speaker positioning later).
- Place the rubber pad without a hole on the top mount.
- Secure the Speakers
- Position the speaker on the bar where you want it mounted.
- Place the top mount over the bar.
- Insert the two bolts through the top and bottom mount.
- Use a 6mm Allen key to tighten the bolts, securing the speaker in place.
- Repeat for the second speaker.
Step 2: Connecting the LED Lighting
The LED lights are powered using the blue and white wires from the speakers:
- White wire → LED positive (+)
- Blue wire → LED negative (-)
Option 1: Sync Lights with Amplifier Power
- Connect the white wire to the remote terminal of your amplifier.
- Connect the blue wire to the ground terminal of your amplifier.
- This setup will power the LEDs on and off with your amplifier.
Option 2: Keep Lights On Independently
- Connect the white wire to the 12V positive terminal of the amplifier.
- Connect the blue wire to the ground terminal.
- This allows the lights to stay on even if the amp is off.
- Use the wireless RF remote to turn them off manually.
Using the Power Connector
- Use the included power connector to sync both speakers' LED lights.
- Align the grooves on the connector with the grooves on the light before plugging in.
Step 3: Using the Wireless RF Remote
The RF remote allows you to control the LEDs with various modes and colors.
Basic Controls
- Power button – Turns lights on/off
- Brightness buttons – Adjust brightness up/down
Lighting Modes
- Demo Mode – Flashes between red, green, and blue
- Speed Buttons – Adjusts speed of effects
- Color Change Mode 1 – Standard RGB color cycling
- Color Change Mode 2 – Includes yellow, purple, light blue, and more
- Strobe Mode – Strobes in red, green, blue, etc.
- Pulse Mode – Smooth transition between colors
- Preset Colors – Manually select red, green, blue, yellow, light blue, purple, or white
⚠ Tip: If your RF remote is only controlling one speaker, try syncing the power wires again to ensure both lights are connected properly.
Step 4: Connecting the Speakers to an Amplifier
The WB65KLS speakers use standard speaker wiring:
- Red wire → Positive (+) terminal
- Black wire → Negative (-) terminal
- Connect the red (+) wire of each speaker to the positive terminal on the amplifier.
- Connect the black (-) wire of each speaker to the negative terminal on the amplifier.
- If your amplifier is far away, use additional speaker wire to extend the connection.
- If you have a 4-channel amplifier, you can connect two additional speakers to the other two channels for a larger audio setup.
Step 5: Playing Music
- Pair your smartphone or device to the amplifier via Bluetooth.
- Play a track and adjust the volume to hear the speakers in action.
