A not
e on Speaker Cable;
TIC recommends the use of our SPC
30, 50 or 100’ double insulated high
quality speaker cable, however just about any reasonable speaker cable may
be used including existing runs tha
t may be in place. For standard 8
installations of 10
–
25ft.
,
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 u
sed however
resistance down the line will become a contributing factor.
Please visit TIC Corporations website at

and review the
Audio Installation Basics articles under Technical Resources for mor

cable guidelines.
