Installation Tips
•
It is recommended to use 18 or 16 AWG gauge stranded wire. For runs longer
than 50’, 14 gauge is recommended.
•
You can mix 4, 6, 8 and 16 ohm speakers.
•
Since speakers have different efficiencies, more efficient speakers will sound
louder than less efficient speakers. Either select your speakers to have the
same efficiencies (a typical measurement is 90 db/watt) or add a speaker
volume control between the SSW-4/6 and the speaker in the room where the
speaker is located where you want to adjust the volume.
•
Wire according to state and local laws. Most places require that you use
special in-wall speaker wire with a specific “CL” fire rating. Consult your
dealer about obtaining such wire.
•
Keep the speaker wiring from running close to AC power wiring for safety
and to avoid any noise pick up.
Installation
Make sure power is turned off on your receiver or power amplifier before doing
any wiring
•
To make a connection, using a wire stripper, strip 3/8” of insulation from the
end of the wire. To avoid short circuits and possible amplifier damage, do not
strip too much insulation from the wire.
•
Tightly twist the end of the wire so that there are no frayed wires.
