New buried subwoofer in yard hardly working

Just installed the Sonance garden 8.1 system around my yard and all the speakers work great, however I can hardly hear the subwoofer.

The set came with a Sonance DSP 2-150 amp and I connected that to a Sonos port.

I reconnected all 4 wires to the sub and still the same thing. I can sort of hear music coming out of it and a very very deep and faint base but it hardly vibrates when I feel it. For having the amp to max base on the settings I’d think I could feel it vibrate a lot and even feel it displace some air considering its size. However I can hardly hear it, the other satellite speakers are producing more base…

Camping at Oshkosh with a 1 y/o?

First time going to Oshkosh (driving in) and first time camping as well. With a 1 year old none the less.

From what I’ve gathered we can pay for a camping site when we get there, first come first serve and I believe drive our car to the site? I’ve heard Thursday has more open spots with people leaving after the night show.

Has anyone done this with a baby? Reading all the comments about drinking water nonstop and seeking AC whenever possible and carefully packing coolers, I’m starting to worry our little guy won’t be able to handle the heat nonstop for 2 days or possibly 3.

Do most people just cook on a little camping grill or just buy food at the airshow? We plan on bringing a few coolers, pack n play, shower shoes and tote, towels, sunscreen, backpacks, and a large wagon (can this fit on the shuttle?)

If anyone’s done this with little ones I really appreciate the advice! We have a hotel reserved in Madison in case we decide this camping thing won’t work with him being soo young.

Wiring Landscape Speakers to Amp Indoors

Looking at how to route a buried 16/4 GearIt OFC landscape wire for my Sonance system to inside the house where the amp is.

All I can think is to insert the cable outside into pvc conduit, attach that to an LB, drill hole for the make LB connector, insert the male part into the hole in the house and seal it with glue and caulk. Then for the inside I have no idea…. I have seen the wall plates as pictured below. Will these work with my system? (Red, white, green, black wires). And just buy some indoor speaker wire to route from this wall plate to the actual amp?

Thanks in advance! I’ve clearly never done any electrical work before

Running a Sonos amp with Sonance garden 8.1 outdoor system?

Has anyone done this or know if it’s possible. Some of the Sonance garden 8.1 sets come with 8 speakers, sub, and a dual channel DSP amp. Others are cheaper and don’t come with the amp. I want to connect it all to my indoor Sonos eras.

I know I can use the dsp amp from Sonance and then just get a sonos port to link it up to but that’s not exactly cheap. I can save probably $1k by buying the speakers without an amp, and buying the Sonos amp seperate. Just wondering if I’ll have less sound quality or possible bust the amp by doing this?

Sonance Garden Series 8.1 outdoor cable type?

I’ve only really seen people using the a 14/4 cable. Is there any issue with using two 14/2 cables. Seems like every other speaker I’ll be splicing two cables unnecessarily with the 14/4. I only need two of the wires going to any one speaker, but since I’ve now cut all 4 I need to splice them all right? Total rookie at this I’ve never dealt with any audio systems
