Speaker Connection - Taga Harmony TCA Series Instruction Manual

Speaker Connection

The Speaker Connectors can accommodate up to 10AWG speaker cables. A 10AWG
cable is recommended for longer connections (longer than 20 meters / 66 feet). For
shorter lengths you can use 12/14 or 18 AWG cables. It is recommended to leave
about 150 cm (5 feet) of extra cable at the amplifier end to facilitate positioning and
installation of the amplifier. Do not use staples, nails or other metal objects to secure
the cables. You will get the best sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the
cables away from other electrical wires and cables.

otherwise you may damage the amplifier and/or the speakers and void your warranty.
