RECOMMENDED WIRING
& AMPLIFIER POWER
Selection of Proper Wire:
We recommend the use of high quality speaker cable.The speaker cable you select will
ideally be fitted with high quality connectors such as 5/16” (8mm) spade lugs. In most
installations, ordinary lamp cord (16-18 gauge) has enough resistance to degrade the
signal between amplifier and speakers, particularly in lengths over 10-feet (3m).
Amplifier Requirements:
Energy
loudspeakers have been designed to be driven to high listening levels with
moderate power, while at the same time being capable of handling the power output
of large amplifiers.
