CONNECTIONS

The connection cables that connect the amplifier output and the speaker should be of good quality, have sufficient conductor area, and be as short as possible. The latter fact is especially important when the distance is long and the load impedance is low (4Ω). A cross-section of at least 2.5mm2 is recommended for distances up to 10m; 4 or 6mm2 for longer distances. The following formula gives the required section, assuming 4% losses:
