[Hidden-tech] Looking for Stereo Setup Assistance

[Michael Muller]

Hey all,

With the coming of the good weather, I'm getting ready to set up my 
backyard for outdoor sound.

I already have four Advent Marbl speakers and a decent car stereo 
hard-wired to a strong DC power supply.

If I put the volume above 50% the speakers just put out fuzz. Total 
crap. And this is with only two of the speakers connected. So...

  * Is it the speakers? (175w RMS)
  * Is it the wiring? (16 gauge)
  * Is it the stereo? (18w RMS)
  * Is it the power supply? (12vDC* 10A = 120w)

I'm looking for someone who works at a car stereo installation place, or 
who really knows about this kind of stuff down to the technical wattage, 
ohms, wire-length and gauge, etc. level.

Ultimately I want to drive eight speakers from one unit, using the 
"front" and "back" settings on the car stereo, and the "surround" 
line-out on each of the four main speakers. See the attached PNG file if 
you're interested.

Please contact me if you're interested in helping me on-site 
(Greenfield), or pass this along to someone you may know who knows about 
this stuff.

Thanks,

Mik
