Good day, How long is the speaker power cable, NOT, the speaker connector wire that comes with the 6.50 Pyle PDWR61BTWT? Placing these on the outside of a pool house and will probably need @ 10-12 ft spacing between the speakers. Once I know, I can buy these. Thank you
The speaker cable gauge depends on the impedance and distance from one speaker to another.
With 4-ohm speakers, you can run up to 24 feet on 16-AWG wire, and for runs up to 100 feet, 10 or 12-AWG wire is recommended.
If you are using 8-ohm speakers, 16 AWG wire is recommended for runs up to 48 feet and 10 or 12AWG wire for runs up to 200 feet.
