Determine the location of the amplifier that will power the loudspeakers. The
amplifier should be located in an area that protects it from the weather. Refer to
the amplifier installation instructions to ensure that the amplifier is not located in
an area that does not meet its recommended operating environment.
Once the location of the amplifier is determined, layout and place the
loudspeakers in the area where music is desired. Use the procedures and
recommendations detailed in the section "Selecting the number and location for
your speakers" of this manual to choose the best locations for the speakers.
Determine a path for the speaker cable. You may need to run wires in walls,
under sidewalks or patios and around obstacles in your yard. Install the wires
while conforming to your local building requirements and codes. If you are unsure
of these codes, consult a professional audio/video installer, building contractor or
local building and inspection agency that has jurisdiction.
Use care when digging trenches in the yard; ensure that there are no buried
cables or gas lines by verifying the location of these items with the local
authorities in your area prior to digging the trenches.
After selecting this path, estimate the amount of cable needed and use the
section entitled "Choosing the Speaker Cable" to choose and cut the cable
required.
Remember that if you are connecting SI model speakers in the one-speaker
stereo mode, make sure you run two cables to each speaker and that the
cables are clearly identified "Right" and "Left", so that the stereo imaging of the
speakers is assured.
If the cable will be run underground, dig a trench along the path needed for the
speaker cable. If you are using PVC pipe to run your cable in, connect and glue
the PVC piping sections and connections together so they lie in this trench easily.
Now run the cable from the amplifier to each speaker location through the pipe. If
you are using direct burial cable, run the cable from the amplifier to each speaker
location and lay the cable in the trench.
Do not cover the cable in the trenches until system operation and loudspeaker
coverage is verified.
