Here are our recommendations: 18 gauge - For distances up to 100 feet 16 gauge - For distances up to 150 feet 14 gauge - For distances up to 250 feet As a best practice, we recommend 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire be used.

Q: QuestionInstallation question…If using 14/4 speaker wire, do I pull the wire to the furthest speaker location and leave the wire attached to the spool at that location or do I leave the wire attached to the spool by the amp? The instructions are confusing.
Asked by DIYMatt.
- A:Answer Hello, Thank you for your question regarding the installation of the Sonance MAG6.1 Outdoor Speaker System. When using 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire, we recommend pulling the wire from the amplifier to the furthest speaker location, but leave the wire attached to the spool. This gives you flexibility during installation, allowing you to create wire loops and make speaker connections as you work your way back toward the amplifier. It’s a best practice that helps avoid running short on wire and allows for easy adjustments along the way. You can also watch the full installation walkthrough in our video here: https://vimeo.com/472886795/fa618253b1 I hope you found this information helpful.

Q: QuestionWhat type of speaker wire do you use for this?
Asked by Bash.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question regarding the Sonance MAG6.1 Outdoor Speaker System. For optimal performance and long-term durability, we recommend using 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire. This wire features four conductors (14-gauge) and is specifically designed to withstand outdoor conditions, including moisture and temperature changes. It also simplifies installation by carrying both left and right channels in a single cable run. I hope you found this information helpful.

Q: QuestionHow do you hook up 6 speakers to this amp?
Asked by Bash.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The six satellite speakers in the MAG6.1 system are connected using a daisy-chain wiring configuration, alternating left and right channels along a single 4-conductor (14/4) direct-burial speaker wire. You’ll wire three speakers to the left channel and three to the right, splitting the channels across the speaker run. The subwoofer connects using all four conductors and can be placed at any point in the daisy chain, though centering it among the satellites provides the most balanced bass. To ensure safe and reliable installation, we recommend using color-coded 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire and following the specific steps outlined in the product manual. You can also watch the full installation walkthrough in our video here: https://vimeo.com/472886795/fa618253b1 I hope you found this information helpful.

Q: QuestionMine were installed yesterday and today when it rained they automatically turned off. Is this normal? I had Best Buy installed these.
Asked by Commando08.
- A:Answer Hi, Thanks for reaching out! It's not normal for your MAG6.1 system to turn off just because it rained. The speakers are designed for outdoor use and are weather-resistant. Since this happened right after installation, we recommend contacting Best Buy to inspect the system. I hope you found this information helpful.

Q: QuestionHow far can the subwoofer and speakers be from the amplifier?
Asked by John.
- A:Answer Hi, Thanks for your question! The Sonance MAG6.1 system supports flexible outdoor installations, and the distance between the amplifier and the speakers or subwoofer depends on the wire gauge you use. Here are the recommended limits: Up to 100 feet with 18-gauge wire Up to 150 feet with 16-gauge wire Up to 250 feet with 14-gauge wire For best performance, use direct burial, 4-conductor speaker wire rated for outdoor use. The subwoofer can be connected anywhere along the speaker line and performs best when placed near the center of the speaker layout. I hope you found this information helpful.

Asked by Tpa.

Q: Questionwant to use speaker volume controller. Will this work with Mag 6.1 ? Don't want kids using sono's app to change volume. Volume controller will auto match impedance as says up to 4 pairs of speakers @ 4 ohms. any concerns? I Don't play music loud
Asked by Chrisis.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question! While an impedance-matching volume control could technically be used with the Sonance MAG 6.1 Outdoor Speaker System, we do not recommend it. The Sonos Amp delivers 125 watts per channel, which exceeds the typical 60-watt rating of most volume controls, leading to potential overheating, distortion, or damage. Even with impedance matching, manual controls can interfere with system performance. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to our California-based support team at 949-492-7777 and ask for Tech Support.

Q: Questioncan the amp be kept outside in the summer? in a cabinet?
Asked by Roger.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. We do not recommend installing the Sonos amp in a location that would expose it to excessive heat, cold, water, moisture, etc. Installing the amplifier in a place that is open to outside elements could shorten the expected usable life of the Sonos amp.
