For speakers with wire attached but same colored wires, most have some small printing on the positive wire – be sure to check closely; Summary. Here I’ve provided you with a speaker diagram showing basic connections, I explained several important things you need to know about speakers and speaker wiring.

If you run outdoor audio wiring for speakers from an inside location to a back yard, chances are you’re going to need to run them through an attic or crawlspace. When you do, be sure to staple the speaker wiring in place and protect it from either contact with curious critters (in the attic) or from coming in contact with the ground or water (crawl space).

Four-conductor wire allows you to connect two pairs of speakers with one wire, potentially saving you the hassle of running a lot of wire. For outdoor speakers, CL2 and CL3 speaker wire complies with US in-wall standards, which means it can be safely ran through walls without causing issues with other electronics or posing a fire risk.

This diagram shows how to wire four speakers in series-parallel. This is a safe way of wiring four speakers (without a switch box or separate volume controls). It is a combination of series and parallel. Providing all the speakers are 8 ohms, this will work as the total impedance is also 8 ohms,

The manner in which your speakers (in a multi-speaker system) are wired together determines the overall impedance. Wiring Configuration for 2 Speakers in Parallel Two 4 ohm speakers = 2 ohm load

Parallel Speaker Wiring combines all Speakers (+) positive Speaker leads together, and all (-) negative Speaker leads together. Parallel Circuits are the simplest to wire because adding a Speaker is as easy as connecting the new Speakers (+) positive lead to the (+) Speaker wires of the other Speakers and the (-) negative lead to the (-) connection of the other Speakers.

This video will show you how to successfully attach your 4 conductor speaker wire to your volume control in any home theater or surround sound system installations.

Read our Outdoor speaker buying guide for more. What about wiring? You can buy in-wall speaker wire with two conductors or four. Use four-conductor cable with stereo-input speakers. These cables contain wires for both left- and right-channel inputs. Use 16 gauge cable for runs of 80 feet or less. Use 14-gauge cable for runs of up to 200 feet.

Variety of 6 speakers 4 channel amp wiring diagram. A wiring diagram is a simplified traditional photographic depiction of an electrical circuit. It reveals the elements of the circuit as streamlined shapes, and the power as well as signal links between the tools.
