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

Ideally, the two speakers should be
placed an equal distance from the
listener. If the room has a lower ceiling,
the speakers can be closer together.
Also, if the speaker placement is
intended for standing (as opposed to
sitting) listeners, the speakers can be
closer together.
Auxiliary Room (2 Speaker Placement)
The Le Rear (LR) and Right Rear
(RR) speakers should be installed just
behind the listener, one on either
side. The Center Channel (CC) speaker
should be placed above and slightly
in front of the television, with the Le
Front (LF) and Right Front (RF) speakers
placed equidistant to either side.
