Homeowners are no longer satisfied with great sound only inside the house.

• Post-pandemic entertaining has shifted outdoors, raising expectations for backyard amenities
• Smart speakers popularized voice control indoors, and clients want the same convenience outside
• Property values rise when outdoor living spaces feel like an extension of the interior
• Offering an outdoor speakers install package positions your firm as a full-service solution provider
• Integrated audio upsells pair naturally with decks, kitchens, and pool installs, boosting average project value

4. Pull conductors, label zones, and perform continuity checks
5. Terminate at the amplifier rack, balancing impedance for each zone
6. Calibrate sound levels, verify app control, and walk the homeowner through operation

Outdoor audio is evolving fast. CountBricks designs for tomorrow by recommending:
• Spare conduit capacity for subwoofers or lighting control
• PoE network drops at pergolas for Wi-Fi mesh nodes
• Modular amplifiers that scale from two to eight zones without rewiring
