Speaker Wire Use 2-conductor speaker wire when con- necting BG speakers to your receiver or amplifier .

Inst allation Fundamen tals Running the Speaker Wire in New Construction If you have doubts about whether you are capable of installing a Niles Blueprint Series speaker in your walls, consult a Niles dealer or professional installer.

Identify where all of your electrical, phone, and TV wiring is likely to be and plan to route around it all. You can acci- dentally induce 60 Hz hum on your speakers if you run your speaker wire right beside electrical wire for more than a few feet. T ry to keep speaker wire running par- allel to power cables at least 3 feet away.
conduit, vents or drain pipe will be visible that give useful information. Choose the route with the fewest potential obstacles. If your house is built on a slab or you are wiring between two finished floors, look for baseboards which could be removed and replaced with the wire behind them .
