Cable diameter
Electric cables in cars should have a certain cross-section to transfer the power and
signals without losses through the hostile environment of the vehicle with all of its
interferences caused by other electrical circuits. The recommended wire cross-section is
based on the system ’s current draw and the length of the cable. Note that you can always
use thicker cable (a lower AWG number); a power cable can never be too thick.
AWG
and mm²
Signat cables are measured in
AWG (American Wire Gauge), the
American standard which is loga-
rithmic. This is about the same as
calculating with deciBels. In this
table the AWG wire cross-sections
are converted to mm² according to
the usual rounded standard as well
as the precise values.

Signat
- for professionals
Signat originates from the German manufacturer Autosound, since the early 1980’s
experienced in the car audio segment. In 1992 Autosound first launched its A-brand with
the name Signat. This is a derivation of the word ‘signature’, which refers to the individual
marks and qualities of each and every design. The rich history of the Signat brand features
many monumental highlights, like the phenomenal FLAG amplifier and its successors LOG,
LAB and RAMbo amplifiers. In order to generate the maximum performance of all the
Signat amplifiers and loudspeakers, Signat has developed a specially conceived, extremely
elaborate cable and accessory program under the name of ‘Platinum’. These high-quality
connection materials will highly contribute to the enhancement of each and every car audio
install.
And there’s more to Signat than just car audio. Just witness the ‘inSight’ multimedia
devices, the security product line and the elaborate catalogue of ‘Fits’ adapters and
interfaces. All of these products are closely related in order to create an optimum
symbiosis. This goes to show that Signat really composes its product range ‘for
professionals’.

Signal
cables
To supply the amplifier with music, an RCA signal
cable is needed, running from the headunit to the
amplifier . This cable may never run next to the
power wire, or it will pick up to much
interference. So the signal cable has to be led
through the other side of the car, unless the
gutter overthere comprises already lots of noise
generating carspecific wiring, like alarm cables,
door locking cables, board computer cables
etcetera. In this case it is preferable to run the
RCA cable through the middle of the car . In
normal cars, a double shielded signal cable will do.
In noisy cars, which tend to pick up more
interference, a superior shielded cable is
recommended, like a twisted RCA cable, which
even offers more protection against
interferences.

Loudspeaker
cables
The loudspeaker wires run from the amplifier to the loudspeakers. They
tend to be fairly long and especially when they lead to doorspeakers, they
have to travel a difficult way through grommet passages.
The copper used in the Platinum loudspeaker cables is OFC (oxygen-free
copper). This ‘pure’ copper has got about 4500 copper crystals within
one meter of a copper conductor. Thanks to the tinned layer around it
improves the conductivity and reduces the oxidation.

Power
wiring
To supply the amplifier with power, the positive
wire comes from the battery. Over there the
cable is connected with a high-quality battery
terminal. This guarantees an optimum contact
surface and prevents corrosion - and therefore
a bad connection. Within a distance of 30cm
from the battery a waterproof fuseholder is
needed. This fuse protects the entire car against
fire in case of an accident or a short -circuit. The
positive power cable has to be led through the
car at the side where the battery is located. The
cable runs from the engine compartment to the
passenger compartment and from there to the
trunk where the amplifier is located.

cable
kits
The elaborate Signat Platinum program allows you to choose the
connection materials which will best fit your purpose. In order to
support you to make the right decisions, Signat has conceived three
extremely complete cable kits. These high-quality cable kits comprise
every component you need to effectuate a successful and quick install
of your car audio system. They supply all wiring needed for example to
add an amplifier to your basic factory set-up of a headunit with
loudspeakers. The cabling from headunit to the amplifier - signal cables
and remote wire - is provided, as well as the power leads from the main
car battery to the amplifier. A Platinum cable kit will certainly enhance
your system’s performance!

Power
caps
The power consumption of an amplifier can widely vary;
it depends on the music and volume. The amplifier
power available is determined by voltage x current (P =
U x I). At moments of fast, heavy bass pulses, amplifiers
can draw considerable amounts of current, up to
hundreds of Ampères, since they feature an efficiency
of only 50%. Because the current (I) rises, the voltage
(U) collapses, as a result of the wire losses. Each long
power cable, even the thickest one, (leading from the
front of the car to the back) generates a magnetic field,
which creates induction, and this means losses. To
maintain a maximum performance of the amplifier , you
can ’t increase the voltage (a car only has 13,6/12 Volts),
but you can increase the fast current delivery. Only
electrolytic capacitors with a very low internal
resistance, like the Signat models S104001, S104105
and S104201, can release their stored current
extremely fast. In this way voltage variations, which
could damage the amplifier , are avoided. And the
amplifier can feed the loudspeakers with maximum
power and control.
