3.5 Choose Output Wire and Con-
nectors

Crown recommends using pre-built or profes-
sionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, 
heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. Use 
banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wire for your 
output connectors (Figure 3.5). To prevent short 
circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed 
loudspeaker cable connectors.

Using the guidelines below, select the appropri-
ate size of wire based on the distance from 
amplifier to speaker.

CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for 
output wiring.
