    RE: Tower Wire

    are you going to run the 4 speakers in parallel or series?

      RE: Tower Wire

      I would recommend running a single bundle with 4 wires, minimum 14ga.

      Here is what I use most of the time: http://www.audiopile.net/products/Sp...cutsheet_2.asp

      25' of this and you will have wire to spare. If you don't need the ends for NVS, Wetsounds, or other, they can sell you just the cable. They also have the wire in 11ga. In my boat with 500 watts x 2 going to the tower I run the 11 ga wire.

          Four - 4 ohm Polks:
          Wire the speakers together in series pairs, bridge the four channel amp into two channels.

                  If you want to disconnect the polks I would do it like this:
