However, for longer speaker wire runs (to another room, for example), it is better to use a thicker, lower-gauge wire. The best connector is bare wire - strip the plastic, twist, stick it in and lock it down. Its all about distance which determines speaker wire gauge. Generally, for short speaker wire runs, a 16-gauge wire is sufficient. Speaker wire has nothing to do with how many watts your amp puts out, or how much your speaker is rated for. When determining which wire gauge to use, consider how far away the speakers are from your amplifier or A/V receiver. Speaker Wiring Calculator For this calculator to work you’ll need to know the output impedance of your amp as well as the number of speakers used in your cabinet. Speaker wires with lower-gauge numbers are better at carrying an amplified audio signal.
A lower-gauge number indicates a thicker wire, while a higher-gauge number indicates a thinner wire. Speaker wires with lower-gauge numbers are better at carrying an amplified audio signal. Description Last Update: Chart to Determine the Proper Speaker Cable Gauge: Cable lengths more than 50 feet should be avoided even if the cable size is adequate, as the ability of wire to transfer high frequency sound is diminished regardless of the cable gauge.
Speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. Speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. In these cases, using separately purchased speaker wire is not possible, we recommend contacting the Sony parts and accessories department for assistance in ordering speaker wire with the correct plug-in connection for your home theater system. IMPORTANT: Some home theater surround sound systems use non-standard plug-in connections. There are generally 2 ways to connect speakers parallel and series. This custom-designed speaker wire gauge calculator will calculate electrical current carried based your specific inputs: Amplifier or stereo power per speaker channel Speaker Ohms Any length of wire you need Using this, it will find the smallest speaker wire gauge that will work for your specific needs.
