Output Wi r i n g (See page 18 for recommended Carver Professional A c c e s s o r i e s . ) Use heavy gauge cable for speaker connections. As the distance between the amplifier and the speakers increases, the cable diameter should be larger to minimize power loss across the cable, and to improve the damping of the speaker. -
