There are many types of speaker wire, but the most common type is a four conductor speaker wire. This type of wire is commonly used in many sound systems and speakers. The reason is that it is easy to connect and it is small.
Four conductor speaker wires can be found in many different lengths and gauges. Knowing how to tie a four-conductor speaker wire is essential to ensure that you are connecting it correctly. Follow these steps to secure the four conductor speaker wires correctly.
What is a four conductor speaker wire?
A 4 conductor speaker wire connects a powered speaker to an amplifier. It is used because it has four conductors that allow you to join the speaker to the amplifier quickly.
The four conductor speaker wire comprises a red, black, green, and white conductor. The red and black conductors are connected to the amplifier’s positive and negative terminals. The green and white conductors are connected to the speaker’s positive and negative terminals, respectively.
How to determine what size wire you need
An easy way to determine what size wire you need is to measure the length of the wire you need to connect. If you need to connect a wire that is 4 feet long, you will need to buy one that is 4 feet long. If you need to connect a wire that is 2 feet long, you will need to buy a wire that is 2 feet long.
How to connect four conductor speaker wire
To connect the four conductor speaker wire:
- Place the wire on the ground and use the speaker wire clamps to hold the wire in place.
- Use the wire stripper to cut the wire to the length you need.
- Use the wire stripper to make a loop on one end of the wire.
- Use the wire stripper to make another loop on the other side of the wire.
- Use the wire stripper to cut the wire in the middle of the circles.
Conclusion
Connecting the speaker’s wire will depend on the type of wire you are using. If the wire is stranded, you can use a wire stripper to strip the wire ends. If the wire is solid, you can use wire cutters to cut the wire into the appropriate lengths. Once the wire is cut, you will need to connect one wire from each speaker to the positive and negative terminals on the power supply.
Next, you will need to join the wires from the positive and negative terminals to the appropriate terminals on the power supply. Once the power supply is connected to the speakers, you will need to make sure the speaker wire is connected to the positive and negative terminals on the power supply. Lastly, you will need to click the power supply output terminals to the speakers’ appropriate terminals.
FAQs
How do I connect four speakers in parallel?
Since you will connect four speakers in parallel, it is best to get four identical speakers. Speakers with the same impedance ratings would be a good choice. If the speakers’ impedances differ, you will need to connect the speakers in a series.
How do you wire a four-pin speaker connector?
Speaker connectors all have four pins, yes. But not all speaker connectors are 4-pin connectors!! For example, a 4-pin connector can also be a 4-pin RGB connector. Confusing, right? Yes, a four-pin connector is commonly associated with RGB cables, but that doesn’t mean that a four-pin connector can only be used with RGB wires. All four-pin connectors can be used with RGB cables. But not all four-pin connectors are RGB.
Why does my speaker wire have four colors?
It’s four different wires bundled in the same insulation. The actual color codes vary from one place to another. Red is usually the positive (+) or live wire, and black is typically the negative (-) or hot wire. White is the neutral wire, and green or yellow is the ground wire.
Which speaker wire is positive?
The positive speaker wire is usually the one that has a stripe along the length of the cable. But be careful because the positive speaker cable may not have any marking, so you must connect the cable to the positive terminal on the amp or the receiver.
