3.5 Choose Output Wire and Con- nectors

Crown recommends using pre-built or profes- sionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. Use banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wire for your output connectors (Figure 3.5). To prevent short circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors.

Using the guidelines below, select the appropri- ate size of wire based on the distance from amplifier to speaker.

Distance	Wire Size
up to 25 ft.	16 gauge
26-40 ft.	14 gauge
41-60 ft.	12 gauge	Figure 3.5 Output Connections
61-100 ft.	10 gauge
101-150 ft.	8 gauge
151-250 ft.	6 gauge

CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output wiring.
