Wiring Atrium 60's outside for Patio

NJ1Dolfan

The patio is 50' long, almost the entire length of the house. There are 3 rooms at the back of the house, a spare bedroom at the far left, the kitchen in the middle, and the family room at the right. I'm going to put the receiver in the spare bedroom at the left corner of the house. There is attic space above, and a basement below. My goal is to mount the speakers to the outside of the house, 20 feet apart from each other, in the center of the patio. If need be, I could put the receiver in the kitchen or the family room if it would make installation easier. I would imagine that to get the wires outside, it would require some drilling and snaking of wires (all of which I am not experienced at). Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this (the easiest way) ? I would appreciate any suggestions. By the way, these Atrium 60's are heavy, they weight 11 lbs each.

Thanks for your help,

I would say conduit, with 14/2 CL rated wire, get er' done. We have more than a few pro installers on the board, I'm sure they will chime in.

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for choosing Polk Audio!!!

Where is your AC entering the house? I would suggest the same hole, beings it exists. Russman mentioned the wire type...fish it and run it.

A short run of conduit to the attic in the spare bedroom, or put in a closet. Run the 14/2 in the attic and out the soffit to where you wanna mount 'em. Caulk the penetrations and turn it on...

you could fish it if you want, but do you need to???
