NOTE
You will need an 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 4 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 SUB10 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 3.
Customer Service Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday 9AM-6PM EST
Run the supplied Direct Burial speaker
wire from the SUB100 subwoofer to the
IPX7 Junction box as shown in Fig 3. 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. Connect
the SUB100 and 4 Left and Right SAT300's
inside the Junction Box as shown in Fig 4.
with the supplied wire nuts.
