Choose an amplifier that matches the speaker configuration: the landscape satellites support eight-ohm, 70-volt, and 100-volt operation, while the Courtyard system uses eight-ohm connectivity and can work with an AV receiver’s Zone 2 output. Use speaker wiring rated and sized for the selected system, following the amplifier’s wiring method for low-impedance connections or transformer-tapped 70-volt and 100-volt installations, and account for the system’s satellites and subwoofer when planning amplifier capacity.

For patios and decks, start with a four-satellite system paired with a ten-inch subwoofer, or use five-inch satellites and a separate subwoofer for a more flexible layout. Larger landscaped areas can benefit from eight satellites with a ten- or twelve-inch subwoofer, while six-and-a-half-inch satellites and a twelve-inch subwoofer may suit projects that call for more output and deeper bass.

Klipsch landscape speakers support above-ground placement with mounting posts or ground stakes, allowing installers to position satellite speakers across patios, decks, and other outdoor areas. Landscape subwoofers can be installed above ground or placed below grade using a subterranean design, while some outdoor surface-mount speakers provide another mounting option for walls or other solid surfaces.

For larger outdoor spaces, start with a complete landscape system that matches the area, then plan satellite and subwoofer locations with future expansion in mind. Many landscape satellite speakers support 8-ohm, 70V, and 100V operation, while select systems can expand to as many as eight satellites and two subwoofers.
