A pencil

A level (optional)

Three screws or bolts suitable for the mounting surface

The proper screwdriver for your mounting hardware

A drill bit of the right size and type

An electric drill

WIRING

The OS6 connects to your receiver or amplifier using 2-conductor speaker wire (See Figure 2). For most applications, we recommend using 16 or 18 gauge wire. For wiring runs longer than 80 feet, we recommend 14 gauge wire. The binding posts of the OS6 will accommodate up to 12 gauge wire directly. Larger sizes can be accommodated using spade, banana, or pin connectors.

TECH TIP

Wire size is expressed by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) number. The lower the number, the larger the wire, i.e. twelve AWG is physically larger than fourteen AWG.

When you run wire inside walls, outdoors or in marine installations, special jacketing or conduit is required for a trouble-free installation and conformation to the local and national building codes. If you are not sure of the correct wire jacket or type of conduit to use, consult a professional audio/video installer, building contractor, or the local building and inspection department.
