Before actually sinking the cable, run the cable from your unit to the power 
source or amplifier. Ensure your cable run avoids any obstacles such as 
sunken sprinkler pipes or piping and electrical cable to your house. Once the 
cable runs are where you like them, connect your speakers and power source 
to ensure correct operation before sinking the cable. Disconnect the cable wire 
at both ends and continue.  
An Important note on Polarity! 
    Pleasure proper polarity when connecting your new TIC outdoor speakers. 
This is very important and will result in poor sound reproduction and possibly 
equipment damage if not connected correctly. This is normally avoided by 
ensuring + to + and – to – or as sometimes color coded Red to Red and Black 
to Black from your amplified source to your speakers respectively.      
Once you have tested your cable run in step 3, it is time to sink the cable. 4-6” 
of cover is normally recommended to offset accidental disturbance, movement 
of the earth etc. but your specific onsite conditions will apply. Should you wish 
to secure the installation of your unit then simply clamp, by way of a “U” spike 
etc. the cable directly beneath  the  unit or  you  may use  TIC’s  SPPSS Security 
Stake available as an optional extra.      
Reconnect the speakers and your receiver amplifier being careful to ensure 
correct “Polarity” matching.
