SONANCE® LANDSCAPE SERIES
IN-GROUND SUBWOOFERS
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Sonance Landscape Series Speakers.
When properly installed, these speakers will provide you with years
of outdoor entertainment pleasure. To get the most out of your new
speakers, please read this manual thoroughly before you begin
installation.
Box Contents
Sonance Landscape Series In-Ground Subwoofer boxes contain:
(1) In-Ground Subwoofer
(1) Dark Brown canopy with ABS tube
(1) Rubber Elbow
(2) Stainless steel hose clamps
(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.

Amplier Power Planning
The maximum number of satellites and subwoofers that can be
used in a system will depend on the amplier power available.
Before beginning an installation use the chart below to calculate
the amplier power your installation will require. Multiple
ampliers may be required in large installations.

1. Locate the subwoofer in an area that will not ood with standing
water.
2. Dig the hole using the guide. See gure 2
LS10SUB: A=4” B=26” C=16” D=13”-16”
LS12SUB: A=4” B=35” C=18” D=15”-18”
Note: (for variable depth see Figure 3 below)

Connecting to the Amplier
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 amplier 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.

3. Prepare a ‘bed’ for the subwoofer that is reasonably free of
voids and large rocks.
4. Install and secure the rubber elbow onto the canopy and ABS
tube subassembly using one of the supplied hose clamps.
5. Install the rubber elbow and canopy assembly on the subwoofer
enclosure; do not tighten the second hose clamp at this point.
6. Place the subwoofer into the ground.
7. Rotate the cabinet as required so that the bottom of the canopy
will be 4” above the nished grade after backll.
8. Once the subwoofer is in the correct location tighten the hose
clamp at the connection between the enclosure and the rubber
elbow.
9. Dig a 4” – 5” deep trench to run the speaker wires in.
10. Run the wire through the trench from your amplier to the rst
speaker location.
11. 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 “–”.
12. After all the speakers connections are completed, connect the
wires to your amplier. See Figure 5 for reference.
13. Turn your amplier on and test the system with your favorite
music. If the speakers are operating properly, rell the wire
trench and enjoy your new speakers.
