A note on Speaker Cable;
TIC recommends the use of our SPC double insulated cable, however just about any reasonable speaker cable may be used including existing runs that may be in place. For standard 8 installations of 10 – just about any 16/18 gauge 2 core cables can usually be used although we would prefer a double insulated or burial spec cable be used. For longer runs of 25 – 100ft. 10/14 gauge cable can be used however resistance down the line will become a contributing factor. Please visit TIC Corporations website at Audio Installation Basics articles under Technical Resources for more in depth exterior audio and cable guidelines.

Refer to the receiver amplifier.
Most initial problems are connectivity, please try a different connection cable to your outdoor speakers or equipment
Check the “balance” control on your receiver amplifier. Check all speaker.
1. Disconnect the “working” speaker from the receiver amplifier connection/ channel. Switch the cord from the non-operating speaker from its current connection to the “working” speaker connection. the speaker now works the problem is your receiver amplifier.
