Sonance Landscape Series Hardscape Subwoofer boxes contain:
(1) Hardscape Subwoofer
(2) Silicon Filled Wire Nuts

Subwoofer Location Selection

The Sonance Landscape Series is designed to deliver a seamless,

evenly dispersed sound eld in an ‘open air’ environment. An array

of multiple Satellite speakers and Subwoofers should be strategically

placed to minimize ‘hot spots’ and ‘nulls’ as you move around the

outdoor entertainment area

As a general guideline, (1) Subwoofer will cover about 2000
square feet of listening area

Figure 1 Shows The Sonance Landscape Series placed along the
perimeter of the entertainment area.

Select a central location for the subwoofer if using only one subwoofer

(see gure 1) if using multiple subwoofers, select locations that are

the same distance from the main listening area.

Amplier Power Planning

The maximum number of satellites and subwoofers that can be

used in a system will depend on the amplier power available.

Before beginning an installation use the chart below to calculate

the amplier power your installation will require. Multiple
ampliers may be required in large installations.

Subwoofer Installation

1. Find the best location to compliment your other speakers.

2. Decide which channel the subwoofer will go on, calculate load.
See wattage calculator.

3. Connect to amplier wiring using the supplied wire nuts, see

Figure 4

Wire Nuts

Connecting to the Amplier

70.7 volt audio systems allow for speakers to be daisy chained to­gether. In a typical system with one zone of audio you simply run a

wire from the amplier to the closest speaker then wire from there

to next speaker and so on. See Figure 5

Note: Sonance strongly recommends the use of 14 gauge, or
larger, direct burial grade wire.

Caution: The amplifier should not be connected to AC power
until all connections are completed. High power 70volt
amplifiers present a serious shock hazard. Do not connect
speaker wires to the amplifier until all other connections are
completed.

1. Dig a 4” – 5” deep trench to run the speaker wires in.

2. Run the wire through the trench from your amplier to the rst

speaker location.

3. Connect the direct burial wire to each speaker wire, connections

should be made with either silicone lled wire connectors or

appropriate junction boxes. See Figure 4.

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to let any stray ‘+’ and ‘–’ strands
touch each other. Touching strands can cause a short-circuit
that could damage your amplifier.

Note: Confirm that you have connected speaker “+” to am­plifier “+” and speaker “–” to amplifier “–”.

4. After all the speakers connections are completed, connect the

wires to your amplier. See Figure 5 for reference.

5. Turn your amplier on and test the system with your favorite
music. If the speakers are operating properly, rell the wire

trench and enjoy your new speakers.
