Exterior Installation…

Before you begin the installation of your new TIC outdoor product, please carefully select the locations of your new TIC products.

In general;

1.Select a reasonably level surface for the installation of your new TIC outdoor speakers. For surface speakers this will prevent movement or excessive vibration during use. This will also ensure more uniform sound dispersion.

2.Ensure your new TIC outdoor speaker cables or power source if required, can easily reach your new speakers. Some people even pre- lay string as a guide ensuring that there are no obstructions or difficulties such as concrete paths or architectural feature impediments. 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.

3.Do not place your TIC outdoor speakers in a depression or area where water pools or in the direct path of sprinklers.

4.Wherever possible avoid long term exposure of your new TIC outdoor speakers to chlorinated solvents, acids such as those often contained in fertilizers and other solvents which have the potential to eventually wear the components prematurely.

5.When installing either burial cable or TIC’s in-ground outdoor speakers please be very aware of any submerged plumbing, piping such as sprinklers or irrigation and wiring already in existence.

A note on Speaker Cable;

TIC recommends the use of our SPC30, 50 or 100’ double insulated high quality speaker 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 – 25ft., 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.
