Choosing the Right Wires, Cables, and Connectors
Speaker Wire:
We recommend using speaker wire
that is at least 14 gauge. (For runs
longer than 15 feet, use 12 gauge or
larger.) The wire should be cut into
equal lengths for each pair of speakers
and long enough to reach from the
rear of your amplifier or receiver to
where the speakers will be placed in
the room, keeping excess wire to a
minimum.
Important:
If you will be running
wires in the walls or
through the floor, use
wire that meets your
local code for that type
of installation.
“Wire Tip”
Wire size is expressed by it’s American Wire
Gauge (AWG) number. The lower the AWG
number, the thicker the wire, i.e., A 12 gauge
wire is larger than a 14 gauge wire.
Subwoofer Connection Materials:
Depending on your equipment or set-up preference, you’ll need
one of the following connection solutions:
A) If your receiver or preamplifier has a “sub-out” connection on
the rear panel, you will need an RCA terminated interconnect
cable to connect it to the subwoofer.
B) If you do not have a “sub-out” connection, or choose to use
speaker-level connections, you will need an additional pair of
speaker wires (14 gauge or better) to run from your amp or
receiver to the subwoofer speaker level inputs.  Then you’ll
need another pair of wires to run from the subwoofer speaker
level outputs to each speaker. Each pair should be of equal
length, keeping excess wire to a minimum.
