INSTALLATION
Once the proper location has been established, choose the appropriate mounting
method between surface mounting
or
using the included ground stake.
SURFACE
MOUNTING
The GS4 comes ready for surface mounting.
Simply position the base where you would like
to
install the loudspeaker, making certain
to
adjust the loudspeaker angle first
by
loosening
the adjustment knob, rotating the loudspeaker
to
the desired angle, and then re-tightening the
knob until it locks
in
place.
Next, align the wall-mount bracket
to
the
desired location and markthe locations
of
the
two
screw holes.
The GS4 weighs approximately 4 lbs (1.8
kg).
Any mounting screws or hardware used
to
secure the loudspeaker should be designed
to
bear a load with a minimum
of
5xthis weight
(i.e.
20 lbs, or9
kg)
in
order
to
assure a wide
margin for safety
in
an outdoorenvironment.

attachment.
Two silicone impregnated wire nuts have been provided inside the special wiring
cavity
in
the wall mount bracket.
You
can remove them
by
inserting a flat screwdriver
underthe cap and slowly prying it up on either side until it opens. All
of
your wiring
connections can be made using the supplied wire nuts and the connections can
then be hidden inside the wiring cavity. Ifthe wiring is going
to
be exposed
to
the
elements, make sure
to
use properly rated cable.
In
such
an
installation, we also
recommend sealing the wire nuts with additional silicone.
Mount the loudspeaker bracket on the wall, making sure that the speaker wire is
properly routed through the wire raceway on the rear
of
the bracket before you install
it. Care should be taken
to
make sure that the wire is routed around the screw holes
so that the speaker wire is not damaged when you attach it
to
the wall.

GROUND
STAKE
MOUNTING
Remove the wall-mount bracket by
pressing up on the metal tab adjacent
next
to
the connection base. Once
the tab is pressed upward, the bracket
will rotate %turn and release from the
loudspeaker.
Using a large hammer
or
mallet, insert
the included ground stake into the
ground until the
top
is level with the
surface.
Using Security Mounting Plates -
As
an
option, you may further secure
the GS4 loudspeakers by utilizing the
included security plates.
To
do
so:
1)
Attach each plate
to
a mounting stake
by inserting the stake through the plate
and twisting the plate until it locks
in
place.
2)
Dig a hole
5"
(12.7 em) wide
by 8" (20.3 em) deep. Confirm the wire
routing for the loudspeaker is correct.
Place the mounting stake with attached
security plate
in
the hole and packfirmly
with dirt
or
for extra security, concrete.
Route the speaker wire through the
center hole
of
the mounting stake and
then attach the loudspeaker
to
the
mounting stake by aligning the holes and
slot with the mounting tab and turning
the loudspeaker a %turn until the tab
locks
in
place.
Adjust the loudspeaker angle by
loosening its adjustment knob and
placing it into the desired position. While
the loudspeaker itself can withstand

extreme temperatures, the loudspeaker should not be placed at
an
angle greater
than 45° above a horizontal position
in
order
to
prevent the possibility of excessive
amounts
of
water staying within the
top
housing and freezing
in
cold environments,
which could damage the loudspeaker.

CONNECTING
THE
LOUDSPEAKER
NOTE:
ALL
LOUDSPEAKER
CONNECTIONS
MUST
BE
MADE
WITH
THE
AMPLIFIER
TURNED
OFF
FOR
SAFETY.
All cables run outdoors or buried should be properly certified for such use. If you
have any questions regarding which cable is appropriate for your installation, please
consult with a professional. Make certain that there are no obstructions
in
the
planned wiring location before proceeding. Many states and municipalities have
specific notification requirements before digging. Make sure
to
check with your
local building authorities as required prior
to
digging.
Connect the wire from the amplifier to your loudspeaker making sure
to
match
polarity so that the negative wire from the amplifier (normally black) matches with
the negative wire from the loudspeaker and
do
the same with the positive wires.
Final connections should be made with either silicone filled wire connectors, orthe
appropriate junction boxes.
After all loudspeaker connections have been made, connect the wires
to
your
amplifier and power on your amplifier. Verify the satisfactory performance
of
each
loudspeaker before covering any exposed trenches or conduit used for your wiring.
