Streaming music at the pool, a podcast on the deck, and cinema-quality audio at the firepit—homeowners now expect seamless sound wherever they gather. CountBricks designs outdoor sound systems that match this lifestyle shift while ensuring every wire, conduit, and speaker bracket integrates cleanly with the home’s architecture.
Traditional quoting leaves room for forgotten cable runs or under-powered amps. CountBricks eliminates guesswork by generating real-time estimates through voice conversation. While you discuss zones, source equipment, and weatherproof ratings, our platform automatically:
• Pulls current pricing for speakers, burial cable, conduits, and surge protection
• Calculates labor hours by task—trenching, rough-in, termination, calibration
• Flags permit or low-voltage inspection requirements in your jurisdiction
• Produces a polished proposal ready for client signature

Every backyard is unique, but the fundamentals stay consistent. CountBricks project managers start with these checkpoints:
• Coverage: Map seating and high-traffic areas to avoid dead zones
• Volume Balance: Choose speaker count over raw wattage for even sound
• Source Flexibility: Integrate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and hardwired options for redundancy
• Durability: Specify IP-rated components and burial-grade cable to survive heat, cold, and irrigation
• Aesthetics: Hide satellites among plantings or recess them into eaves for a clean look
1. Digital Takeoff: Import the homeowner’s site plan into CountBricks AI for accurate cable length and trench routes
2. On-Site Walkthrough: Confirm speaker positions, subwoofer enclosures, and equipment rack location
3. Rough-In: Trench, conduit, and stub outs are completed before hardscape pours
4. Trim-Out: Speakers mounted, cables terminated, amplifiers and network gear installed in climate-controlled rack
5. Calibration: Our technicians balance SPL across zones using pink noise and real-time analysis
6. Client Handoff: Homeowner receives a personalized tutorial and digital as-built stored in their CountBricks client portal
Residential outdoor sound systems typically fall into three tiers:
• Entry (2-Zone Stereo): $4,500 – $7,000 inclusive of equipment and labor
• Premium (4-6 Zones Surround): $8,000 – $15,000 with in-ground subwoofers and multi-source streaming
• Luxury (8+ Zones Immersive): $18,000 – $40,000 incorporating landscape lighting, automation bridges, and buried fiber backbone
Because CountBricks updates pricing daily, your estimate reflects current supplier costs—crucial in fluctuating commodity markets.
Outdoor sound rarely lives alone. CountBricks coordinates with pool builders, landscapers, and electricians through our shared project dashboard, ensuring:
• Speaker wire sleeves are placed before concrete patios are poured
• Control cabling routes clear of gas and irrigation lines
• Amplifier rack has dedicated circuits and ventilation per manufacturer spec
• Undersized Amplification: We match power to speaker impedance to prevent clipping
• Signal Drop-Outs: Enterprise-grade mesh Wi-Fi or hardwired Cat6 runs keep streams flowing
• Water Intrusion: Gel-filled direct-bury cable and raised junction boxes combat moisture
• Neighborhood Noise Complaints: We design for immersive listening inside the property line, not across it
• Capture scope changes verbally on site; our voice AI auto-reprices in seconds
• Leverage the blueprint takeoff tool to visualise wire paths before digging
• Use task-level cost breakdowns to justify upsells like landscape subwoofers
• Export branded proposals directly to e-signature—no copy-paste needed
• Store calibrated DSP profiles in the cloud for future service calls
CountBricks specifies amplifiers that natively integrate with leading control platforms. Whether the homeowner prefers app-only operation or wall keypads, our commissioning team ensures a single, intuitive interface. Future upgrades—additional zones, outdoor TVs, or voice assistants—slot right in without rewiring.
