![]() I’ve had outdoor wall mount speakers with larger drivers from a boutique brand in the past that sound almost as good but didn’t hold up to northeast weather even being taken in for the winter. I’ve got a 6’ privacy fence and house on that helps to contain the sound. I’ve got them spaced 12’ feet apart and again plenty t o fill up my 120’ by 60’ backyard and pool space. The multidirectional nature and acoustic enclosure make the the best use of the driver output and imaging between the two sounds great. As they’ve been installed now for a few weeks partially buried, they’re truly amazing in the amount of detail and base and are loud enough to get your neighbors to complain and perfect for entertaining as background and listening purposes. I’ll attribute the difference in sound quality to being designed for an unlimited outdoor space. I hooked these up in my closed space garage and felt let down but then tried outside in the locations where they’d be installed and was amazed at how good they sound. I was a bit skeptical on the driver size providing enough sound and volume but these are really amazing. Then use those to connect them to your B zone, L and R as you would with normal speakers then waterproof all the loose wires as well as the ones you use.Skeptical at first but very happy with volume, clarity That’s the 40w one that bypasses the transformer. 100w amp with 10 speakers? No problem! Tap them all at 10w! Etc etc.Īll you need to do is work out which cable is the negative (it’s probably black) connect it then try connecting each of the other cables in turn until you find the loudest one. They exist so that you can match the number of speakers you have to the amp you have. I think 360s are a 40w speaker so the transformer will have maybe a 40w, 20w, 10w, 5w, 1w tap at a guess. ![]() The other cables are usually called taps. There will be a negative wire which connects to negative on the amp in any situation. ![]() So the 360 is a normal speaker, just with a transformer on the bottom. Then at each speaker you have a transformer (like a sub station if we’re sticking with the power grid analogy) that converts the power back down to a normal signal that a 4-8 ohms speaker can actually use. The signal is boosted up to massive voltage (100v usually) to prevent transmission losses over long distances and enable you to wire several speakers to one circuit. The 360s you have got must have come from a pro installation because they’re what’s known as fixed voltage speakers. Freespace 360 and 51 are the only products to cross over into the domestic market because of their popularity but they were designed for Disney Land originally.
