★Authorized Dealer · Outdoor

Coastal Source outdoor audio · Kansas City.

IntegrateIT is the authorized Coastal Source dealer for the Kansas City metro — premium outdoor + landscape audio (bollard speakers that look like landscape lighting, in-ground subwoofers that disappear into the lawn, planter speakers hidden behind boxwoods). 40+ outdoor systems since 2021 across Mission Hills, Leawood, Prairie Village, Loch Lloyd, and the lake-house circuit. We coordinate with your landscape architect from schematic design through irrigation-coordinated cable runs. Phone: (913) 804-7575.

Why landscape architects specify Coastal Source

Built for outdoor service. 20+ year outdoor rating (vs 5-7 for typical outdoor speakers). Proprietary marine-grade connectors survive KC freeze-thaw + lawn irrigation without corrosion.
Designed to disappear. Bollards match the landscape-lighting fixtures. In-ground subwoofers vent through a turf-matching grille. Planter speakers hide behind boxwoods + ornamental grasses.
Ear-level coverage. Bollards aim sound at conversation height instead of straight up (rocks) or muddy bass-only (in-ground). The music is intelligible at party volume without cranking it.
Integrated with everything else. Outdoor audio terminates at the same control plane as your indoor system — Control4, Crestron, or Sonos — and ties into Lutron outdoor lighting scenes. Press "Pool Party" once; lights warm, audio fires up, outdoor TVs come on.

Common questions

What makes Coastal Source different from other outdoor speakers?

Coastal Source builds outdoor audio for the architectural + landscape channel — bollard speakers that look like landscape lighting fixtures, in-ground subwoofers that disappear into the lawn, planter-mounted satellites that hide behind boxwoods. Their construction tolerances are rated for 20+ year outdoor service (most outdoor speakers are rated for 5-7), and the cabling system is a proprietary marine-grade connector that survives KC winters + lawn irrigation without corrosion. Architects + landscape architects specify Coastal Source on $2M+ outdoor builds because the speakers integrate into the design instead of fighting it.

How much does a Coastal Source outdoor system cost in Kansas City?

A foundational backyard system (4 bollards + 1 in-ground sub + Crestron or Sonos source) runs $14,000-$28,000. A full landscape system covering pool deck + patio + garden paths + outdoor kitchen + sport court (8-16 bollards + 2-4 subs + integrated Lutron landscape lighting) runs $32,000-$78,000. Estate-scale outdoor installs with multi-zone audio + integrated outdoor cinema + tennis court PA + dock-side speakers (for the lake-house tier) run $95,000-$235,000.

Why bollard speakers instead of in-ground or rock speakers?

Three reasons. (1) Coverage — bollards aim sound at ear-level instead of straight up (rocks) or muddy bass-only (in-ground), so the music is intelligible at conversation distance without cranking the volume. (2) Aesthetics — bollards are designed by landscape architects to look like landscape lighting; rock speakers always look like speakers pretending to be rocks. (3) Durability — bollards drain water by design; rock speakers trap water and fail at year 4-7 in KC freeze-thaw cycles.

Do you coordinate with my landscape architect on Coastal Source installs?

Yes — this is one of the projects that genuinely requires the design team in the room. We meet with the landscape architect during the schematic-design phase so the speaker locations + cable runs + transformer placement align with the planting plan + irrigation zones + lighting layout. The Coastal Source bollard heights + colors are matched to the landscape-lighting fixtures so the two systems look like one. Cabling runs through the same trenches as the lighting low-voltage feed.

Can the outdoor audio integrate with my Control4 / Crestron / Sonos system?

Yes — the outdoor zone is just another zone on the whole-home system. Coastal Source speakers terminate at a Crestron Sonnex / Control4 Triad / Sonos Amp / matrix amplifier (whichever your indoor system uses) + appear as a zone in the app. Lighting scenes can trigger audio ("Pool Party" → outdoor lights warm + outdoor audio fires up to volume 35); voice control works ("Hey Google, play Yacht Rock on the patio").
