put a little fertilizer and water on it. This is the garden and landscape forum
maximum panorama cord is sixteen gauge cord and has a thicker plastic masking. well-known speaker cord is eighteen gauge (larger kind of gaugesmaller cord) and has a skinny plastic masking for indoor use. The longer the gap from source to speaker, the better the cord. below 20 ft use sixteen gauge. 20-40 ft use 14 gauge. larger cordmuch less sign loss.
the speakers should line each side of the yard to create a left and right side. so 3 speakers should be right and 3 left. Do not hook the speakers up to surround sound out puts on the reciever just use left and right. Surround sound only works good for movies not music the rear speakers will not put out music just some muted background noise. SO yes you can splice the wires together. you will not notice any power loose
