Placement
Plan your speaker placement carefully. The RK5 speakers
are manufactured to resist most natural conditions. However,
they are not weatherproof, so care should be used in
placement near sprinklers, spouts or areas of extreme
sun/rain. Running wire to the speakers around existing
yard features must be considered.
The RK5 speakers can be placed on your patio, deck,
flowerbed, or on the ground. Install them near your primary
listening area, or for complete yard coverage use more
than one pair. It is better to have more speakers playing
at lower volume for large outdoor spaces.
If your application requires the speaker cable to be buried first
verify the location of utilities. Be careful to avoid buried cables,
gas lines, and sprinklers. Verify the operation of your RK5
speakers before backfilling.
The length of the longest speaker cable you need should determine
the wire gauge required. Measure the longest run and consult
the following chart before purchasing cable:
Run speaker cables inside walls and outdoors in accordance
with local building codes. If you are unsure of codes or utilities
locations, consult a professional contractor before installation.
Distance Wire Gauge
Up to 60 ft (18 m) 16
Up to 100 ft (30 m) 14
Up to 160 ft (50 m) 12
Like all speakers, the RK5 series of Rock Landscape speakers
sound best when placed in the line of sight to the listener with
no obstructions.
