Installing Outdoor Speakers On Vinyl Siding

Mounted the speakers directly onto the aluminum siding and brought the wire out through the eave through these feed through bushings from radio shack.

Installing outdoor speakers on vinyl siding.

To drill into siding go near the top of the siding where it s most narrow. So drill a hole insert an anchor and then bolt the mounting bracket into place. Connected them to the speaker b terminals on my receiver. Banana plugs connect directly into the speaker wire clips on the back of the speaker and receiver.

To install banana plugs you will need to strip the end of the speaker wires. If you have aluminum or vinyl siding you ll need to drill through the siding go through the narrower part at the top to the material beneath likely wood plywood or studs to anchor the wood screws. I installed outdoor speakers polk audio atrium45s about 2 years ago i ran 14g speaker wire from behind the stereo up through the wall into the attic. Try it and the siding will sag and potentially drop your speaker.

The vinyl or aluminum siding by itself isn t strong enough to support the weight of a speaker and the bracket will sag.
