Wire Tip, Subwoofer Connection Materials

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.
