LUR652E-LUR65EW CONNECTION
CONNECTIONS - WIRE RUNS
Each Dual ROCK speaker has a two-conductor speaker wire surrounded by a cable
sleeve exiting the bottom of the speaker. The LUR652E has typical speaker leads in
this location. The LUR65EW model is designed with 50 feet of environmental rated wire
already attached. Regardless of the model purchased, any connection to the speaker
should be of a similar gauge wire (cable) running from the speaker location to your
audio system.
Dual does not supply speaker wire or cable accessories separately at this time. If you
are installing the LUR652E, you may wish to purchase certified direct burial cables
(environmentally rated speaker wire) and/or a watertight burial box which also works
well for the purpose of protecting your connection. Burial cable or wire rated for in
ground installation is available at most hardware stores and home improvements
outlets.
The cable or wire can be run either directly beneath the speaker into the ground, or you
can use the notch on the bottom edge of the speaker to exit the cable out the rear for
hard surface installations. When attaching the cable to the speaker, it is critical that a
high quality connection be achieved. Poor connections will lead to corrosion, possible
loss of signal and/or a decline in audio performance.
When possible, try to reduce the distance of your speaker from the audio source to
achieve the best audio results. The optimum run should be no longer than 50 feet
for the most favorable results. Runs longer then 50' are common, but may require
additional installation steps. Please ask your Dual dealer or a professional contractor if
you have questions regarding long wire runs. Dual recommends larger wire of 12 or 14
gauge for speaker wire runs longer then 50 feet.
