SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER
If you are able to locate the amplifier within 3 feet of the transducer (3 ft. is the approximate length of
the speaker wire attached to the transducer), connect the transducer wires directly to the amplifier. This
can be done by unscrewing the wire binding posts, inserting the wire through the hole in the post and
then retightening the binding posts (see photo on this page). To insure you have a secure connection,
make sure the insulation on the wire does not get pinched when tightening the cap on the binding post.
NOTE: The 5-Way binding posts can be connected to in several ways. You can insert banana plugs
into the end of the posts, insert pin connectors or bare wire through the hole in the post (as shown in
photo), wrap bare wire around the posts and tighten the post caps, or install lug terminals around the
posts.
If you are unable to locate the amplifier within 3 feet of the transducer, you will need to splice the
speaker wire coming out of the transducer with another comparable wire of the correct length. Once
spliced, attach the ends of the added wire to the amplifier as discussed above.
NOTE: Our general wire size recommendations for additional wire are as follows:
0 to 25 feet, 16 AWG
25 to 50 feet, 14 AWG
50 to 75 feet, 12 AWG
