Q: QuestionWhat gauge speaker wire should I use and would I use the same gauge on the other core series...floor speakers and book shelf? I'm waiting for them to be delivered today!

Asked 4 years ago by Bluespower.

• A:Answer Hi Bluespower, Thanks for your inquiry! 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. Yes, all core series speakers support the same type of speaker wiring. Also, take note that when determining which wire gauge to use, consider how far away the speakers are from your amplifier or A/V receiver. Generally, for short speaker wire runs, a 16-gauge wire is sufficient. However, for longer speaker wire runs (to another room, for example), it is better to use a thicker, lower-gauge wire. Hope this helps! -Sam

Q: QuestionCan you connect two center speakers to the same red and black terminals on the receiver?

Asked 7 years ago by DarthElf.

• A:Answer Yes and no. It depends on the design of the speaker and the amp. Usually a receiver is designed for speakers with a range of ohm ratings. If the speakers are wired in parallel (as described), the ohm (resistance) rating drops by 1/2 (assuming identical speakers). So if you have speakers rated for 8 ohms and a receiver that can handle a 4 ohm load, yes. If you have 6 ohm speakers, they would only be rated at 3 ohms wired together and would overload the receiver.

Q: Questioncan I use as left or right speaker

Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Personally I wouldnt suggest using it for anything other than a center speaker for a 3 or 5 or 7 channel speaker setup. It only has 1 main speaker in the middle with 2 tweeters on the left and right side in the box. So if anything for a left or right you would want a pair but even then it's design is clearly set for a center speaker use.
