Tools & Items

The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers. 

Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier to speaker connections. Which 

gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speaker. 

The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.
