The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.
Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplier to speaker connections.
Which gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular
speaker. The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.

Acoustic Landscape Collection™ Manual
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).
Amplier & Wiring Plan
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 • 16” 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.
1. Installing the System
You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identied
as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some
means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identication
may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive
(+) 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.
On both your amplier and your speaker the connectors will be identied as red
for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the
speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive
connector in the amplier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

D. Place subwoofer, as level as possible, not tilted, in the center of hole & use
loose dirt to level the subwoofer, ensuring the subwoofer is not in direct contact
with any large rocks or large empty holes.
E. Fill remaining space around subwoofer with loose dirt. Ensure that all vents are
exposed and allow a visible space of about 4 in. (102mm) from the ground level
to the top of the subwoofer, - it should not be buried or set at the ground level
height.
F. Dig a 5” trench where you plan on laying out the wire. Run the wire from the
amplier to your rst speaker location.

2a. Wire from Amplier to Satellite Speakers
Bundle all three of the le channel positive wires (wire from the amplier, wire to
the rst speaker, and wire to the rest of the speakers) together and connect them
with the rst wire nut. Then do the same for all the le channel negative wires.
(Speakers connected in Parallel)
Run the wires to the next speaker and connect them the same way, but this time
connect the right channel positive and negative wires. Continue connecting the
speakers like this, alternating le and right, until you reach the subwoofer.

2b. Wire from Amplier to Subwoofer
The subwoofer should have four input connections. Using the wire nuts, connect
both le and right channels to the subwoofer, making sure positive is connected
to positive and negative is connected to negative. Continue down the line and
connect the rest of the speakers. Then connect the wires to the amplier with the
volume turned down.
Connect your music playing device and test the system. When everything is
working properly, ll all the holes and trenches.

If possible, it’s oen good to try to isolate the problem rst. For example, if you’re
playing a DVD on a television and there’s no sound, try connecting an MP3 player
to the system to see if that works. If it does work, then the problem is with the tele-
vision, DVD player, or the cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, the problem
will be with the amplier, speakers, or those cables.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
No Sound The volume may be turned down or muted. Check the volume
settings on both the amplier and the television/computer/CD
player/etc.
No Sound Make sure the proper source is selected on the amplier or re-
ceiver.
No Sound Check the cord connecting the amplier with the source. The
cord may be damaged or plugged into the wrong input or out-
put.
No Sound Check the wires connecting the amplier with the speakers.
Make sure they’re connected properly and not damaged in any
way.
Poor Sound
Quality
If you hear something like static, or the sound is cutting in and
out, check the audio cables. If the problem increases when a
cable is being moved, then the cable is most likely faulty or not
connected properly.
Poor Sound
Quality
Today’s audio systems may have several places to adjust the
volume, for example your MP3 player may have a volume con-
trol, and your amplier may also have one. Check to be certain
that the volume isn’t turned up past 80% on any device.
Poor Sound
Quality
Try changing sources to be certain that the selection you’ve
chosen is a good quality recording.
