that

would

prevent

air

from

has

been

designed

to

drive

up

to

two

pairs

of

8-

or

16

two

-conductor

stranded

wire

to

connect

your

speakers

to

the

Citation

is

satisfactory.

but

a

heavier

gauge

(with

a

lower

number)

is

preferable,

especially

for

distances

over

25

feet.

It

is

possible

to

use

up

to

50

feet

of

wire

for

each

speaker

without

significant

loss

of

volume.

Do

not

drive

staples

or

tacks

conductors

and

consequently

decrease

volume

or

eliminate

entirely.

Cut

two

segments

of

wire

approximately

equal

in

Both

should

be

long

enough

to

reach

the

farther

speaker

comfortably.

Separate

the

conductors

ateach

end

of

the

wire

segments

for

a

distance

of

two

or

three

inches.

Then

carefully

re-

move

about

one

-quarter

inch

of

insulation

from

each

free

end.

Twist

the

strands

of

each

conductor

so

they

are

smooth

and

tight,

without

any

loose

strands.
