• Identify the location.
• Determine the positioning of subwoofer and
satellite speakers.
• Dig the trench according to speakers and
accessories to be installed.
• The trench should be 6”-8” deep.
5| EN
We strongly recommend using burial–rated cable (not
included) when installing any of the Garden Oasis Satellite
Speakers. In addition, it’s critical to use the proper speaker
cable gauge. Please review the chart below.
There a few considerations before you start digging a trench:
• Ensure that ALL Speakers are tested prior to installation.
• Ensure that the proposed area is easily accessed and that
the area is not prone to flooding, standing water or where
the speakers can be easily damaged, kicked or struck.
• Consider Overall Landscape/Garden Design and
positioning in relation to listening area
