3. Installation

Before installing the speakers, ensure that the area is clean and free of debris. Place the speakers in your desired location, such as near your pool, patio, or garden. The speakers should be positioned where they can blend naturally with the environment and provide optimal sound coverage. We recommend spacing the speakers a maximum of 25 feet apart for the best sound quality and coverage.

4. Connecting to Amplifier/Receiver

1. Turn off your amplifier or receiver before connecting the speakers.
2. Use CL3 burial-rated speaker wire (not included) to connect the speakers to your amplifier or receiver. The length of the wire will depend on the distance between the speakers and the amplifier/receiver.
3. Strip the ends of the speaker wire, exposing the bare wire.
4. Connect the positive (+) terminal on the speaker to the positive (+) terminal on your amplifier or receiver, and the negative (-) terminal on the speaker to the negative (-) terminal on your amplifier or receiver. Make sure the connections are secure and tight.
5. Repeat the process for the second speaker.
6. Turn on your amplifier or receiver and test the speakers for proper operation.

5. Maintenance

Regularly inspect the speakers for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the surface of the speakers with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals on the speakers, as this may damage the finish. If the speakers are exposed to extreme weather conditions, it is recommended to store them indoors during those times to prolong their lifespan.
