  • Page 14: System Planning & Installation

    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.
  • Page 15 III. Feed the speaker wire through the top hole of the ground stake and out the wire hole on the side of the stake. Δ The speaker can now be screwed onto the stake clockwise until tight. Δ Using a 4mm hex wrench, adjust speaker angle to the direction of the listening area.
