LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Bundle all three of the positive wires (the wire from the amplifier,
the wire to the first satellite speaker, and the wire to the rest of the
satellite speakers) together and connect them with the first wire
nut. Then do the same for all the negative wires.
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. 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 satellite 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.
About Speaker Wire
Wiring
Dig a 5” trench where you plan on laying out the wire. Run the
wire from the amplifier to your first satellite speaker location.
Using waterproof wire nuts (included), connect the wire to the
first satellite speaker or subwoofer, using the following diagram
as reference:

Speaker
From
Amplifier To Remaining
Speakers
DO NOT connect the amplifier to AC power before all the satellite speakers
and subwoofer are connected. DO NOT connect the satellite speaker wire
to the amplifier before all other connections have been made. Failure to
do so may create a shock hazard. DO NOT let any stray (+) and (-) strands
to come in contact with each other. This could damage your amplifier.
WARNING
Continue connecting the satellite speakers and subwoofer(s) to-
gether like this. The final satellite speaker or subwoofer will be
at the end of the chain, so you’ll only need to bundle two wires
together. Alternatively, if you want to wire satellite speakers on
one channel and subwoofers on the other, you can use a Crown
amplifier with Origin’s custom DSP for landscape speakers. For
more information, please look at the Instructions and Datasheets
section on our website.
If a satellite speaker is located far from the main wire in the trench,
you may need to use an additional length of wire between the
satellite speaker and trench. This situation is most likely to occur
if the satellite speaker is in a tree or on a wall.
Connect the wires to the amplifier.
Connect your music playing device and test the system. If every-
thing is working properly, fill all the holes and trenches.
