Installation

Direct Burial

Dig a hole 12″ in diameter and 6″ deep. (If installing with optional stake, dig a hole 12″ in diameter and 16″ deep.) Level the speaker in the hole then backfill with clean sand or soil being sure that the grill drain hole remains at least 1″ above grade. Compact the sand/soil to make sure the speaker will not shift or settle over time.

Note: Hard to dig areas may benefit from a gas-powered handheld 12″ auger (may be rented locally).
