How do I select the correct wire gauge for my speakers?
Selection of the appropriate wire gauge is important to system operation. A cable that’s too “light” will result in amplifier power being wasted due to the series resistance of the cable. It will also result in the loss of low-frequency performance due to a degraded damping factor. On the other hand, a cable that is too “heavy” is unnecessarily awkward and costly.
