Introduction

You don't have to be an electrician or an acoustics expert to get great surround sound from your home theater system. Just follow the steps in this tutorial to set up your home theater speakers for optimum sound.

In this quick tutorial, you will need the following items:

Wire stripper
Wire cutter
Sound pressure level meter
Speaker cable between 12 to 16 gauge, labeled AWG

Editors' note:

The lower the gauge number, the thicker the cable. We recommend the thicker cable if the speakers are placed far apart.

I am using copper monster cables with 4 small cables in each main cable for my speakers. However, I have difficulty in inserting the 2 cables that go into each of the binding post because the hole on the latter is too small.

As such, can you advise me as what I should do? Thanks

Dear LV208306,

Maybe you can try using pin plugs shown in the last slide of the article.
