When using 16 gauge or larger, run the speaker wires from the amplifier location through the vehicle to the speakers. Observe the same precautions for routing these wires that you followed for running the power and remote turn-on wires. Cut o ff excess and, using wire strippers, strip 1/4 inch of insulation.

The following is a basic formula to be used as a guide to determine current draw. A50% amplifier efficiency rating is used as an average. Your new P C X™ a m p l i f i e r is more efficient than most other amplifiers. This formula is to be used as a guideline. Using wire of a larger gauge can only improve the current transfer of your system.
