WIRING

The most difficult part of installing in-wall loudspeakers

is running the wire. Pre-wiring new construction is

strongly recommended, but this is not always possible.

Access to a basement, attic, or crawl space can simplify

the task of getting wires to the appropriate locations. If

you are a do-it-yourself homeowner, you may wish to

hire a professional for the purpose of running the

wires, even if you are planning on mounting the

speakers yourself.

The terminals used on the MC300IW loudspeakers will

accept up to AWG #12 speaker cable. We recommend

using the largest wire that is practical to run in your

installation. A minimum of AWG #16 should be used

for runs up to 50 feet, with AWG#14 for runs from 50-

100 feet. Runs longer than 100feet should use AWG #12.
