SPEAKER PLACEMENT
These outdoor speakers are designed to mounted vertically or horizontally. The
included mounting bracket(s) are for installation in outdoor locations which
include gazebos, exterior walls, railings, decks and under building soffits.
It is preferred that speakers be located out of direct sunlight or extreme
weather exposure.
If you are mounting speakers for the purpose of stereo imaging, we recommend
that speaker separation be 50-75% of the listening distance. Example: for a
listening area of 15-20 feet away, the speakers should be 10-15 feet apart
INSTALLING YOUR SPEAKERS
Recommended tools and hardware:
- (2) Mounting screws per speaker
- Screwdriver
- Stud Finder
- Speaker Wire
- Bubble Level
Make sure to locate a stud beneath the surface for installation of the “C” bracket. Mark the location through the adjustable keyholes. Pre-drill with a drill bit slightly smaller than the mounting screws to avoid splitting siding or stud. For brick or masonry, use a masonry drill bit and masonry/concrete fasteners, and be sure to follow directions.
The mounting screws can be installed either with the “C” bracket in place, or by inserting the mounting screws to nearly flush with the surface, positioning the keyhole openings over the screws, then tightening.

CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKERS
To connect your outdoor speakers, use the proper gauge wire (See below). Strip
wire ends and attach to the back of the speaker as shown. If you are running
new wires, carefully measure the distance between the amp and speaker, and
allow for 2-3 feet of extra wire for play.
RECOMMENDED WIRE GAUGE
0-15 Feet-16 Gauge
15-30 Feet-14 Gauge
More than 30 Feet-12 Gauge
Once the speaker is attached to wires, slide onto “C” bracket, and use the
threaded caps to secure the loudspeaker into place. Before tightening all the
way, adjust the positioning of the speaker to your optimum listening
preference.
CARE AND CLEANING
These all weather speakers are made form durable materials and will provide years of listening for all of your outdoor applications. Outdoor locations are prone to dust, dirt and pollution, and your speakers may need periodic cleaning. A soft, damp cloth or gentle spray from a garden hose is acceptable, avoiding direct spray through grille into drivers.
Here are some placement choices we do not recommend in order to protect your speakers from harsh elements:
- If possible, do not place in direct sunlight.
- Do not use strong abrasives, cleaners or solvents when cleaning.
- Do not use a pressure washer to clean speaker.
- Do not allow speakers to come in contact with chemicals or garden sprinklers.
- Do not splash with pool water or water from a hot tub.
AMPLIFICATION
Make sure that amplification matches the speakers’ specified power handling. To avoid damage to speaker, turn down the volume if you notice distortion or static.
