Types of Wire
Color-coded, 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire is recommended.
Best Practice: ‘14/4’ refers to 14 gauge, 4-conductor wire. It is
important to use only ‘direct burial’ wire to maintain long-term
signal integrity and prevent corrosion. Using individual conductors
with dierent colors makes it easy to identify and access both
amplier channels. Low voltage lighting wire can also be used but
is only sold as a 2 conductor wire. If using a 2 conductor wire, then
run two pairs of wires; one for each amplier channel (Right/Left).
Speaker Installation
1. Place the 8 satellites and 1 subwoofer in their approximate
nal locations.
2. Dig a 4” to 5” trench to run the speaker wires in. Be sure to
check local codes for trenching limitations.
3. Starting at the amp location or wire connection point, run the
speaker wire through the trench to the rst speaker location.
4. Once the speakers and subwoofer are laid out in their locations
and the wiring is completed per this installation guide, stake
or mount the speakers into their nal locations and bury the
subwoofer in its nal location.
Connecting the Speakers
The SGS SYSTEM allows the satellite speakers to be wired
together in a parallel/daisy chain conguration. In a typical system
with one zone of audio, simply run a 4 conductor wire from the
amplier or connection point to the closest speaker. Once you
have designated the rst speaker as either left or right, continue
alternating the wires between the left and right channels creating a
daisy chain of stereo satellites (see Figure 3).
NOTE: THE SUBWOOFER CAN BE CONNECTED AT ANY POINT IN THE
DAISY CHAIN.
NOTE: PLEASE REFER TO THE WIRING CHART BELOW TO DETERMINE
WHICH SIZE WIRE TO USE OVER A GIVEN DISTANCE.

NOTE: THE SUBWOOFER REQUIRES A BURIAL SPACE THAT IS ABOUT
14” DIAMETER AND 15” DEEP. WHEN SUBWOOFER IS IN THE GROUND,
ENSURE THAT THERE IS ROUGHLY 5” OF EXPOSED SUBWOOFER
