You must always connect the left and right
channels to achieve maximum output.
Observe positive (+) and negative (–)
polarity. Reversing polarity of a dual voice
coil subwoofer will result in very little bass
output and possibly damage the speaker
or amplifier.

All speaker connections should be
made with the provided wire nuts.
We recommend filling each wire nut
with a little silicone sealant to ensure a
weatherproof connection.
Any number of SAT300 loudspeakers can
be used in an installation. For applications
requiring more than two SAT300
loudspeakers, use a separate amplifier
channel for each additional pair of SAT300
loudspeakers. Do not use the A and B
channels on your receiver to hook up two
pairs of SAT300 loudspeakers, as this
may overload and damage your receiver/
amplifier circuitry. If you need help with
wiring or connecting more than one pair
of SAT300 loudspeakers, please contact
tech support.
NOTE
You will need additional 2 conductor and 4 conductor Direct Burial Underground speaker
wire if you want to run the SAT300's farther than the 3 feet provided. For distances of 100
feet or less we recommend 14 AWG (Gauge) wire. For distances greater than 100 feet we
recommend 12 AWG (Gauge).
Connecting 2 SAT300 loudspeakers (Parallel hook up) to the Direct Burial IPX 7 junction
box provided
The Atrium SAT300 and Atrium SUB100
each come with 3 feet of CL3 speaker wire,
which is rated for underground burial. If
you wish to place the SAT300's or SUB100
farther than 3 feet from the supplied
Junction Box than you will need to use
additional speaker wire.
The SAT300 has two conductors—one red
that is labeled "+" and one black that is
labeled "–". The SUB100 has four conductors
(white, green, red and black) because it has
a dual voice coil. Follow the correct polarity
during hookup to avoid performance issues
and/or damage to your amplifier.
All speaker connections should be
made with the provided wire nuts. We
recommend filling each wire nut with
a little silicone sealant to ensure a
weatherproof connection.
Connect one end of the left and right
channel of the 4 conductor Direct Burial
speaker wire to the +/– terminals of the
amplifier's left and right output channel.
Next run the other end into the supplied
IPX7 Junction Box as shown in Fig 1.
Run the supplied Direct Burial speaker
wire from the SUB100 subwoofer to the
IPX7 Junction box as shown in Fig 1. The
wires are coded in the following manner:
Left Channel (+) is White, Left Channel (-)
is Green. Right Channel (+) is Red, Right
Channel (-) is Black. You must always
connect the left and right channels to
achieve maximum output. Observe positive
(+) and negative (–) polarity. Reversing
polarity of a dual voice coil subwoofer will
result in very little bass output and possibly
damage the speaker or amplifier.
Customer Service Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday 9AM-6PM EST
Connect one end of the 2 conductor Direct
Burial wire to the Left SAT300. Make
sure to note which color is connected to
the (+) and (-) speaker terminals. Next
run the other end into the supplied IPX7
Junction Box as shown in Fig 1. Repeat this
procedure for the Right SAT300 as shown
in Fig 1.
Connect the SUB100 and Left and Right
SAT300 inside the Junction Box as shown
in Fig 2. with the supplied wire nuts.
