Install
1. Decide if you want standard 8 ohm two speaker stereo sound, or distributed 70/100volt speaker sound. Then chose 8 ohm or 70Volt. The PRO CECS8070V can
do either.. This speaker may also be used on 100 volt systems.
2. Chose locations for your speakers. If using two separate speakers, keep in mind your “sweet stop” the area where you will spend most of your time.
3. Choose your wiring method: Home Run or Daisy chain. Suggest a pigtail if daisy chain from one speaker to the next
4. Bury your conduit or wire 18”below grade to prevent damage by tillers or shovels when planting. Prewire before hardscape concrete.
5. Insure there is enough room above to place the CECS8070V in the ceiling or Tile.
6. Use a one piece TB8 Tile Support Bracket to prevent sag. See YouTube for install instructions. Cut on inside of TB8 diameter
7. If using for stereo, carefully identify Left and Right cables at both ends . For proper phasing identify the (+) and (-) on each cable.
8. If using as 70 volt the speakers can be Daisy Chained from one speakerto the next.
9. How do I know what size 70 volt amp to use? Rule of thumb- add up all the wattage taps of the speakers then divide by .75 for safety factor. Example, suppose you
have 10 speakers with the wattage tap of 15, the total wattage would be 150 watts. Divide 150W/.75= 200W. Now select an amp of 200W or higher.
10. For 8ohm hook-up proceed to step #11.
11. Connect the amplifier Left wire to the to the White and Green wire Only on the designatedLEFT PRO CECS8070V speaker. Observe polarity.
12. Connect the amplifier Right wire to the to the White and Green wire Only on the designated RIGHT PRO CECS8070V speaker. Observe polarity.
13. Before connecting the wires to the amplifier check the impedancewith a multi-meteron the resistance scale. It should read about 6.5 ohms in the 8 ohm position.
14. If multi-meterreading is OK then connect to amplifier.
15. If using a volume control I suggest placing it inside the house for easy control and to protect it from the elements.
