The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.
Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier to speaker connections. Which
gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speak-
er. The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.
Wire Recommendation
Wire Length Wire Gauge
0 -100’ (0 - 30m) 16
50 - 150’ (15 - 45m) 14

You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified
as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some
means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identification
may be subtle. It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive
(+) and negative (-). Typically if the wires are colored red and black, the red wire
is used for positive and the black wire is used for negative, but sometimes other
colors or patterns are used. You can choose whichever color of wire you want to
be positive and negative as long as you remain consistent throughout the install.
On both your amplifier and your speaker the connectors will be identified as red
for positive and black for negative. It is very important to look carefully at the
speaker wires and be certain that the same wire that is attached to the positive
connector in the amplifier is attached to the positive connector in the speaker.

When choosing the point where the
wire exits the house, remember that
it’s best if less wire is exposed to the
outside elements. Try to find a point
in the wall as close to the speaker as
possible when drilling a hole for the
wire. Once you run the wire through
that point, be sure to properly seal the
hole. If you’re routing the wire underground, use a direct burial wire. To prevent
future damage, it’s recommended to also use a PVC conduit.
1. Installing the Wire

Wire
Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several
methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.
Wire Routing
The wire can be routed behind the
baseboard by cutting a groove out of
the back of the baseboard, or by buy-
ing special baseboard designed for
concealing wires.
Behind the Baseboard
When running wires through a wall, be
sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC
wiring, pipes, and ducts.

One option is to li up the carpet and
rout “tape wire” under the carpet.
Under the Carpet
When available, you can route the wire
through an attic or crawlspace.
Attic or Basement
If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the
installation process will be a bit dierent (although much simpler). For these
situations, it’s recommended you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how to
install the speakers are provided with the bracket, or can be found on our web-
site. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.
For New Construction
Using the template, mark the location for the screws on the wall. (The speaker can
be mounted vertically or horizontally.)
Depending on the type of surface you’re installing the speaker on, you may need
to use anchors of some kind. If you’re installing the speaker on a hollow wall,
it’s recommended you use hollow-wall anchors. Likewise, if you’re installing the
speaker on brick, stone, or concrete, it’s best to use masonry anchors.
Drill the holes for the screws. If you’re installing the speaker on brick, stone, or
concrete, use a hammer drill. Install the screws leaving a 1/10” (2.5mm) space
between wall and screwhead for hanging the bracket.

When you’re finished, hang the speaker on the wall. The speaker is designed to
have the tweeter at the top if it’s mounted vertically, or to the outside if mounted
horizontally. If the speaker is installed horizontally, the logo can be rotated to be
right-side-up.
3. Installing the Speaker
Strip ¼” (6 mm) of the insulation o both ends of the wire. To avoid stray strands,
twist them at the end. On the speaker, remove the rubber cover from the input
terminal. Pull the wire through the cover, so it can be reattached to the speaker
aer the wire has been connected.
4. Connecting the Wire
Insert the wires into the connector, making sure that the positive wire is being
attached to the (+) connection and the negative wire is being attached to the (-)
connection. (If the negative and positive wires are switched, speaker performance
