Find a Route for the Speaker Wires and Measure the Distance

The shortest distance from the house to the speakers is best, depending on obstacles and structures in the path, such as planters, walkways, etc. If there are no obstacles, dig a 4”-6” trench in the soil or sod from your house to the speaker and lay the wire in the trench. Always use Direct Burial Wire when installing speaker wires underground. If there are obstacles in the way, such as a concrete walkway, follow the next step.
