POWER WIRING

Most automobiles built in the last 10 years have adequate current capability for your Blaupunkt amplifier. Except for systems above 500-700 watts, the factory charging system and battery should comfortably power your audio system.

Care should be taken in the choice of wire to ensure adequate current delivery to the amplifier. Wire diameter size (gauge) is an important factor for high power audio systems. The main battery cable size needs to change with audio power demands. The amplifier power and length of wire run determine the wire size that is needed. Wire diameters larger than those shown below offer limited sonic improvements for the given increased wire cost.

Wire diameter must increase (decreased wire gauge number) for higher power systems. For amplifier installations long distances from the car battery, the wire diameter needs to increase (decreased wire gauge number). The power wire sizes below are sizes that allow for a maximum of

0.5Volts DC voltage drop over the given wire length (this power line voltage drop is virtually inaudible at the speakers and will not cause problems with your Blaupunkt amplifier).

(Current draw above reflects a minimum system voltage of 12.6 V dc at the amplifier with current values for maximum current draw with music signals. Wire gauge numbers are also inflated by 2 gauge sizes to compensate for voltage drops in connectors.)

SPEAKER WIRING

As with power wire, speaker wire size (gauge) changes with the power required and the length of the wire run. The chart below is for a single channel output of an audio amplifier driving a loudspeaker at a given distance with a maximum of 0.5 dB power loss over the wire.
