9. SYSTEM PLANNING & INSTALLATION
The speakers and subwoofer should be strategically placed to evenly
distribute sound throughout the outdoor area. Fully plan out the
locations of the amp, all speakers, subwoofer and buried wires, before
beginning the installation process.
The system is designed for the speakers to be evenly divided between
two PARALLEL wire runs, with the subwoofer connected to both. The
wires will be buried in single 5'' trench.
9a. POSITIONING & INSTALLING THE SATELLITE SPEAKERS
I. Speakers should be fairly evenly spaced, in a line, and aimed so they
cover the listening area and so that sound is evenly dispersed around
the outdoor space uniformly.
For best coverage, we recommend spacing the speakers 8 - 15 feet
apart.
Use a minimum of 14 AWG wire.
Do not place speakers in direct line with sprinkler spray.
II. Push the mounting spikes for the satellite speakers to vertically plumb
into the ground.
Be sure to have the wire hole on the side of the stake facing away from
the listening area.
If the ground is too firm to push the spike in all the way, remove the
speaker from the spike and tap the spike in gently with a rubber mallet.
Be careful not to use too much force on the spikes, because they can
break.
