WIRING INSTALLATION

All Coastal Source speakers feature our patented Coastal Connector™ for a waterproof direct burial connection. For connecting to a Coastal Source amplifier, just select the appropriate Uni-Connect 8C 16AWG cable lengths and Plug+Play™ the speakers to the amplifier. For situations where 3rd party speaker wire must be used, Coastal Source splice kits are available to adapt the Uni-Connect 8C 16AWG connections on the speaker to more conventional speaker wire.

CABLING RULES

• This speaker is designed for use with Uni-Connect 8C 16AWG cables and has (1) Uni-Connect 8C input connection.
• Uni-Connect 16 AWG cables can be run at a maximum distance of 300’ total without any significant degradation of performance.
• If longer lengths are required, please contact Coastal Source. Coastal Source systems ship preset for typical applications. Adjustments should only be made by certified dealers.

CONNECTING THE PLUG+PLAY™  CONNECTOR

• Align the key-way of the cable to the key-way of the connector and fully insert the cable into the connector. Carefully rotate the covering nut until the finger is tight.
• If the covering nut is cross-threaded, reverse rotation and carefully align the nut to re-thread.

SOUND TUNING

• Note that optimal sound tuning is subjective and specific to each listener so there are no hard and fast rules for optimizing the sound of a Coastal Source system.
• We have designed it with the flexibility to allow you to shape the sound to your personal preferences.
• The following information is offered as a brief guide. It is highly recommended to take the time to experiment and tune the system to achieve your desired sound.
• NOTE: Coastal Source outdoor audio systems are the clearest and most efficient on the market, but they are not designed to run at 100% volume full-time.
• If the system is going to be played at loud volumes for an extended time, Coastal Source recommends setting the volume to 75-80%.

SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT

• For hardscape applications, the integrated rubber feet provide isolation to prevent rattling.
• Since very low frequencies are omni-directional placement is less critical, but experimenting with placement is still recommended since proximity to walls and corners will have a significant effect on the bass output.

Open area

• Less bass response

Near a wall surface

• Heavy bass response. Low frequencies gather in corners and travel better through surfaces like the ground or walls than the air.
