Painting
The exposed outer sides and top of the landscape subwoofer can be easily
painted to match any landscape décor. It is recommended that these be
painted prior to installation. Any high quality spray paint will do. Be careful not
to paint the underside of the canopy of the AW10-LSUB-BR as there is a mesh
insect/rodent guard at the base that can become clogged and interfere with
sound transmission if it is blocked. Mask this area when painting. Similarly, do
not paint the underside of the AW10-HSUB-BR and take care not to paint the
screw threads of the adjustable feet.
Wiring Connections
Note: Before connecting any wires, make certain that the tap setting switch
(located by unscrewing the rear cover cap from the speaker) is set to either a
70v/100v position for 70v/100v systems or to the 8Ω position when used with
a standard low impedance amplifier or receiver.
When you are ready to connect the loudspeaker wiring, make certain that you
leave enough slack in the wiring to completely protect the wire after testing
the system by burying it at least 6” underground or whatever minimum
depth your local building code requires, or by protecting the wire in conduit.
Leaving a wire exposed can lead to inadvertent damage during lawn mowing
or trimming. Keeping the wire properly protected is essential to preventing
unwanted service calls in the future.
While maintaining the proper polarity of the wires, twist the wire leads
together and insert them into the enclosed waterproof wire nuts. Tighten the
nuts securely and then test the connection before burying the wire, closing
any junction boxes, or filling any wire trenchwork.
Adjusting the tap setting (volume level)
When used as a 70v/100v speaker, the tap setting should be adjusted for
each speaker in the system. Keep in mind that the total wattage number of
all speakers connected to the same amplifier including any subwoofers should
not exceed the amplifier’s power rating, always leaving 20% of power as
headroom.
When you have finished adjusting the tap settings, make sure to securely
re-attach the protective tap setting cap of the speaker and hand-tighten it.
Adjustable Feet for Easy Leveling (AW10-HSUB Only
)
If installing the AW10-HSUB-BR on an uneven surface, each of the three
mounting legs can be adjusted so that the subwoofer can be kept level. Simply
unscrew any of the leg(s) and use the included hex wrench to counter tighten
the two locking nuts into the desired position.
