The following two tables list the required wires that have to be prepared for a stereo pair of CBT36s. The
wire size, number of wires, wire length, insulation removal (for both ends) and whether or not the wire
should be tinned is specified. If you accidently tin a wire that shouldn’t be, it will not fit in the terminal
properly when other wires have to be connected to the same terminal!
All wire is either 18AWG or 24 AWG stranded. See instructions in next two sections. The short section
following the tables recaps the preparation of the wires and shows photos of the groups of wires after
they are prepared.
Before you start cutting the wires, we suggest preparing a 36” long cutting guide marked off with all the
lengths that must be cut. The guide can be as simple as a piece of corrugated cardboard or a wooden
plank. The following inch lengths should be marked on this guide: 4”, 4.5”, 5”, 6”, 11”, 12”, 15”, 16”, 17”,
22”, 24”, 27”, 28”, 35”, and 36”. Because keeping track of all the wires is extremely important to minimize
mistakes, we suggest you store the completed wire bundles in “press-to-close” plastic bags. A “snack”
size 6 ½” x 3 ¼” (165 mm x 82.5 mm) bag works great for this use. Twenty seven bags are required and
should be number consecutively from 1 to 27 following the entries in the following tables.
