Warning: All wire must be protected according to its corresponding amp rating, installation of
electrical wire can be hazardous. You are playing with electricity. .
Consult a professional engineer for special conditions if not a general install. Always consult the National
Electrical Code www.neca-neis.org and your local building/electrical inspector prior to making any changes. Most little projects even require a permit.

** Current Draw figures are based on RMS Power of the amplifier with a 50% efficiency rating. *** Although wire gauge sizes smaller than 10 gauge may be acceptable for the amount of current draw, we recommend using 10 gauge as the smallest wire size for any amplifier of 100 watts or more.
