2.5Choose Output Wire and Connectors

Crown recommends using professionally con- structed, high-

quality, two- or four-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. You may use ter- minal forks or bare wire for your output connec- tors (see Figure 2.5). To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable and 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 AWG
26-40 ft.	14 AWG
41-60 ft.	12 AWG
Over 60 ft.	10 AWG

CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output wiring.
