Rigging Design Practices
Riggingasubwooferrequiresdetermining:
1.Theriggingmethodsandhardwarethatmeetstatic,
shock,dynamic,andanyotherloadrequirementsfor
supportingthesubwooferfromstructure.
2.ThedesignfactorforandtherequiredWLL
(WorkingLoadLimit)forthissupport.
Mackiestronglyrecommendsthefollowingrigging
practices:
1.Documentation:Thoroughlydocumentthedesign
withdetaileddrawingsandpartslists.
2.Analysis:Haveaqualiedprofessional,suchasa
licensedProfessionalEngineer,reviewandapprovethe
designbeforeitsimplementation.
3.Installation:Haveaqualiedprofessionalriggerdo
