The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.
Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier 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.
Wire Recommendation
Wire Length Wire Gauge
0 -100’ (0 - 30m) 16
50 - 150’ (15 - 45m) 14
Over 100’ (30m) 12
You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified
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 identification
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

The Landscape satellite speakers and subwoofers should be strategically placed
to evenly distribute sound throughout the outdoor area. Fully plan out the
locations of all satellite speakers, subwoofers and buried wires before beginning
the installation process.
Origin satellite speakers have been specially designed so that you can set them
in the 70v configuration for large installs, or for small installs they can be set to
8 for use with a standard AV receiver. (If using the OSUB8, 10 or 12 in 8 Ohm
we recommend using a dedicated subwoofer amplifier. *See Origin SUBA150,
SUBA500)
The first step to locating your speakers is to plan the speaker layout. Origin
Acoustics oers a free design service to help you map the optimal speaker
placements as well as recommended amplifier power and project scale. (Email
[e-mail] for more information.) If, however, you
want to plan the layout yourself, here are some guidelines.
Planning
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 amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified 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 amplifier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

Satellite speakers should be fairly
evenly spaced and aimed so they
cover the listening area uniformly. One
satellite speaker will provide sound to
about 250 to 500 sq , depending on
your loudness requirements. Origin
makes mounting hardware available
so that you can easily and securely
locate satellite speakers on the
ground, flat surfaces like walls or even on trees. You should avoid placing them
next to high-pressure sprinklers.
Speaker Location
Subwoofer
Speakers
Select a location for the subwoofer somewhat near the middle of the satellite
speaker arrangement. One subwoofer will provide bass to about 1000 to 2000
sq . When using multiple subwoofers, space them out evenly and about equal-
distance from the listening area. Subwoofers should be positioned away from
standing water.
Subwoofer Location

Seasons Landscape Collection™ Manual
For most applications, we recommend wiring all subwoofers on a designated wire
run and satellites on a separate wire run. This will allow the Crown CDi amplifier
to use the presets with active crossovers that remove the bass from the satellites,
more eectively controls how the subwoofer interfaces with the satellites, permits
you to control the subwoofer-to-satellite balance and has the custom DSP (digital
signal processing) assigned to subwoofers and satellites separately.
All speakers on a wire run -- satellites or subwoofers -- can be daisy-chained (wired
in parallel). Subwoofers will need to be on CH1 and satellites on CH2.

Another option that you may be more familiar with allows you to daisy-chain
satellites and subwoofers on the same wire run(s). With this approach, the Crown
presets still use custom DSP but the crossover between satellites and subwoofer
is passive. Subwoofer(s) can be connected to either channel anywhere in the
chain. When using more than one subwoofer, evenly distribute them between the
two channels.

Install the satellite speakers with their
mounts. (Depending on the location
and type of mount, you may want
to connect the wires to the satellite
speakers first.)
To aim the satellite speaker up and
down, loosen the screw on the pole
until the satellite speaker can be
aimed, and then tighten it when it’s facing the appropriate direction. To prevent

Small System Option:
For a smaller system, it’s possible to use an ordinary 8 Ohm receiver or amplifier.
For this use case, all speakers and subwoofers must be set to 8 ohm. (No more
than two speakers per channel)
