INSTALLATION
NOTE: It is recommended that a minimum of 16 gauge, 2 conductor wire be used
for most applications from the amplifier or volume control to the speaker. Different
gauges can, and should, be used based upon the distance of the intended run or
quality of installation
(see
Figure 2
)
NOTE: The On-Q/Legrand lyriQ™ Audio components all accommodate wire
gauges from 18 to 14.
A.
For pre-wire, run x/2 conductor (x=gauge) stranded speaker wire from the distribution/volume
control to each outdoor speaker location.
B.
Drill a hole large enough to accommodate the speaker wire
through the outside wall at an appropriate location for each
outdoor speaker, and place each speaker wire from the
volume control through the hole to the outside. Leave at
least a foot of wire outside, and seal the hole with caulk.
C.
Place the speaker wire through the hole in the center of the
ev

Q™ 7000 Outdoor Speaker bracket, and mount the
Outdoor Speaker brackets to the outside wall using two
screws per bracket (see

and the appropriate
retention device (i.e. masonry inserts for a masonry wall).
