A note on Speaker Cable;
TIC recommends the use o
cable, however just about any reasonable speaker cable may be used including
existing runs that may be in place. For standard 8 installations of 10 –
just about any 16/18 gauge 2 core cables can usually be used although we
would prefer a double insulated or burial spec cable be used. For longer runs of
25 – 100ft. 10/14 gauge cable can be used however resistance down the line
will become a contributing factor.
