NOTE You will need additional 2 conductor and 4 conductor Direct Burial Underground speaker wire if you want to run the SAT300's farther than the 3 feet provided. For distances of 100 feet or less we recommend 14 AWG (Gauge) wire. For distances greater than 100 feet we recommend 12 AWG (Gauge). Connecting 2 SAT300 loudspeakers (Parallel hook up) to the Direct Burial IPX 7 Junction box provided The Atrium SAT300 and Atrium SUBl00 each come with 3 feet of CL3 speaker wire, which is rated for underground burial. If you wish to place the SAT300's or SUBlO0 farther than 3 feet from the supplied Junction Box than you will need to use additional speaker wire. The SAT300 has two conductors-one red that is labeled"+" and one black that is labeled"-". The SUBl00 has four conductors (white, green, red and black) because it has a dual voice coil. Follow the correct polarity during hookup to avoid performance issues and/or damage to your amplifier. Connect one end of the 2 conductor Direct Burial wire to the Left SAT300. Make sure to note which color is connected to the(+) and(-) speaker terminals. Next run the other end into the supplied IPX7 Junction Box as shown in Fig 1. Repeat this procedure for the Right SAT300 as shown in Fig 1. Connect the SUBl00 and Left and Right SAT300 inside the Junction Box as shown in Fig 2. with the supplied wire nuts. All speaker connections should be made with the provided wire nuts. We recommend filling each wire nut with a little silicone sealant to ensure a weatherproof connection. Connect one end of the left and right channel of the 4 conductor Direct Burial speaker wire to the+/- terminals of the amplifier's left and right output channel. Next run the other end into the supplied IPX7 Junction Box as shown in Fig 1. Run the supplied Direct Burial speaker wire from the SUBl00 subwoofer to the IPX7 Junction box as shown in Fig 1. The wires are coded in the following manner: Left Channel(+) is White, Left Channel(-) is Green. Right Channel ( +) is Red, Right Channel (-) is Black. You must always connect the left and right channels to achieve maximum output. Observe positive (+) and negative(-) polarity. Reversing polarity of a dual voice coil subwoofer will result in very little bass output and possibly damage the speaker or amplifier.
