A note on Speaker Cable;
TIC recommends the use of our SPC double
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.

While most if not all TIC outdoor speakers use and recommend burying
the cable lightly 4-6 inches, if the cable is surface mounted you must
make sure the cable is placed where it cannot be tripped over, pulled,
abraded or crushed.

This is very important and will result in poor sound reproduction and possibly
equipment damage if not connected correctly. This is normally avoided by
