Preparing the Speaker Cable
1. Determine the length of
wire necessary to connect
your amplifier to the speaker
farthest away. Remember to
allow for extra cable to be
able to conceal it under
baseboards, run it around
corners, etc.

2. Make the cables for both

both cable lengths the same
will help maintain proper
signal balance and imaging.
3. Separate the two conduc-
tors that make up each cable,
for about one inch. Then strip
off about 3/8" of insulation.

wires into a tightly bunched
spiral.
