Before you purchase loudspeaker wire, check local building
codes to make sure that the wire is rated to comply with
applicable local safety codes such as UL or CL-2. Use only
stranded wire no thinner than AWG 16. For runs longer
than 100 feet, we recommend minimum of AWG 14. When
pulling wire, take care not to pull the wire too fast to
prevent stretching the wire or scorching the insulation from
friction. Leave 2 to 3 feet of excess loudspeaker wire at
both ends; it is easier to trim off excess wire than to splice
additional wire. When securing the wire inside the walls, be
careful not to pierce the insulation with nails or staples.
Precautions
If you have any doubts about your ability to properly install
in-wall loudspeakers, you should consider the services of a
custom installer. If you plan to install them yourself, always
use high quality tools to save time and make the installation
go more smoothly.
The Gallery In-Wall Loudspeakers mount into standard 4-
inch (or greater) stud depth walls. Determine the final
location of both left and right speakers before cutting any
holes since changes to one speaker may affect the other
either aesthetically or acoustically. Look for pipes, wiring
or any other conflicting material that might be damaged
before beginning the installation.
