Ideally, all the speakers and subwoofer will be connected to two parallel wire runs,
and these wires will be buried in single trench. The Acoustic Landscape System is
designed for the speakers to be evenely divided between these two wire runs,
with the subwoofer connected to both. Most receivers can safely handle up to 8
speakers and a subwoofer (6 ohm load).

The Acoustic Landscape speakers and subwoofer should be strategically placed
to evenly distribute sound throughout the outdoor area. Fully plan out the
locations of all speakers, subwoofers and buried wires before beginning the
installation process.
Planning
Speakers should be fairly evenly
spaced in a line and aimed so they
cover the listening area uniformly.
For best coverage, we recommend
placing the speakers 6 to 8 feet apart.
Select a location for the subwoofer
somewhat near the middle of the
speaker arrangement. For more bass,
install the subwoofer near a wall or other solid surface. Subwoofers should be
positioned away from standing water.

A. Lay out the speakers and subwoofer in their selected locations. To prevent
water damage, angle the speaker less than 45 degrees up.
B. Dig a hole for the subwoofer, with the following minimum dimensions:
16” Diameter • 10” Depth
C. Place a layer, 2- 4 inches thick, using a sand and gravel mix (3/8” recommended
gravel size), or other material approved by local codes) ensuring there are no large
rocks or large empty holes.

(+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire
is used for positive and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other
colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to
be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.

exposed and allow a visible space of about 4 in. (102mm) from the ground level
