CONNECTION CABLES WITH WATER RESISTANT WIRE NUTS
Connecting the loudspeaker’s cable to the cable running from the house is
always a point of concern for the installer. If this connection is not done right, the
cable may corrode and the connection may fail. To make sure this connection
is trouble-free, we provide three-foot connection cables rated for burial
underground and specialized waterproof wire nuts. Our wire nuts are filled with a
waterproof sealant. Just insert the wires and twist them together. Then bury the
cable. The connection will be protected from the elements.
SECURITY BRACKET AND CABLE
Using the security bracket and cable supplied with the loudspeaker provides a
simple but effective method to protect the loudspeaker from theft or unapproved
movement. You can easily upgrade our standard security mounting method to
provide even greater security, if you require it.

SELECTING THE NUMBER AND LOCATION FOR YOUR SPEAKERS
The RS PRO series loudspeakers loudspeaker can be installed directly on the
ground, in a flowerbed, on a wood deck or on a concrete/stone patio.
When choosing the location for the loudspeaker, take into consideration the
slope of the land in the area the speakers are going to be placed. The flatter and
more level the area, the better. The woofer should be straight up and down or
tilted forward a bit to assist in drawing water away from it. Never choose a place
where an automatic sprinkler will be aimed on or near the loudspeaker. While
the loudspeaker is weatherproof, continuous streaming water will shorten the
product’s life.
