Cable diameter

Electric cables in cars should have a certain cross-section to transfer the power and
signals without losses through the hostile environment of the vehicle with all of its
interferences caused by other electrical circuits. The recommended wire cross-section is
based on the system ’s current draw and the length of the cable. Note that you can always
use thicker cable (a lower AWG number); a power cable can never be too thick.

AWG and mm²

Signat cables are measured in
AWG (American Wire Gauge), the
American standard which is loga­rithmic. This is about the same as
calculating with deciBels. In this
table the AWG wire cross-sections
are converted to mm² according to
the usual rounded standard as well
as the precise values.

Signat - for professionals

Signat originates from the German manufacturer Autosound, since the early 1980’s
experienced in the car audio segment. In 1992 Autosound first launched its A-brand with
the name Signat. This is a derivation of the word ‘signature’, which refers to the individual
marks and qualities of each and every design. The rich history of the Signat brand features
many monumental highlights, like the phenomenal FLAG amplifier and its successors LOG,
LAB and RAMbo amplifiers. In order to generate the maximum performance of all the
Signat amplifiers and loudspeakers, Signat has developed a specially conceived, extremely
elaborate cable and accessory program under the name of ‘Platinum’. These high-quality
connection materials will highly contribute to the enhancement of each and every car audio
install.

And there’s more to Signat than just car audio. Just witness the ‘inSight’ multimedia
devices, the security product line and the elaborate catalogue of ‘Fits’ adapters and
interfaces. All of these products are closely related in order to create an optimum
symbiosis. This goes to show that Signat really composes its product range ‘for
professionals’.

Signal cables

To supply the amplifier with music, an RCA signal
cable is needed, running from the headunit to the
amplifier . This cable may never run next to the
power wire, or it will pick up to much
interference. So the signal cable has to be led
through the other side of the car, unless the
gutter overthere comprises already lots of noise
generating carspecific wiring, like alarm cables,
door locking cables, board computer cables
etcetera. In this case it is preferable to run the
RCA cable through the middle of the car . In
normal cars, a double shielded signal cable will do.
In noisy cars, which tend to pick up more
interference, a superior shielded cable is
recommended, like a twisted RCA cable, which
even offers more protection against
interferences.
