Please use Diagram 1 below to familiarize yourself with the rear panel of your outdoor speaker.
WIRING
Placement Under Eaves and Outdoors
When mounting your speakers outdoors, the eaves of the roof
provide an ideal location. They reduce the exposure of constant
direct sunlight, salt spray, and precipitation. If installing speak-
ers on a boat, the wheelhouse provides the best location for the
same reasons. Following these suggestions will help to ensure
that your speakers will last a lifetime.
Placement on a Wall or Bookshelf
When placing your speakers on a wall or bookshelf, optimal
sound will be achieved if they are mounted at ear level or slightly
higher. The usual listening area should be no closer to the speak-
ers than the distance between the speakers themselves.
