Connect the second loudspeaker the same way. + + Make sure that all connections are done properly. Speaker cables are color-coded to help avoid confusion. Always make sure that bare wire ends never touch the open end of another speaker cable, speaker connectors or metal parts of your amp. 2. 2 Length and diameter of loudspeaker cables Loudspeaker cables whose diameter is too small can limit the power amp performance considerably. The longer the cable, the greater the problem. As a result, users often simply turn up the amp, which can lead to loudspeaker damage. For most applications, this will not be necessary. Cable diameter should be at least 2. 5 - 4. 0 mm (AWG 6). 2. 3 Power amp rating and impedance Selecting the right amp can turn out to be rather difficult. Therefore, stick to the following rule of thumb: the power rating of your amp should be roughly twice the speaker load capacity. A speaker rated at 300 Watts continuous performance can easily be powered by an amp rated at 600 Watts output power.
