Hi team
Query with regadrs speaker wire termination when using 4 core cable. I am considering using 4 core cable for a speaker installation in the ceiling of our patio (entertainment area). Have purchased some Atrium 6 speakers for the installation. Have a small conduit with limited space in the wall behind the amp and would suit using the 4 core wire setup, was going to use 16 AWG for a run of approx 14m to the furtherest speaker. Have always been an advocate for equal lengths of speaker cable to two matching spaekers, old school hi fi I guess.
Question is: If I use 4 core cable what happens when I get to the first speaker do I have to split the jacket for the balance to the second speaker, and if so based on using equal lengths of cable is it ok to leave the blance of the cable out of the jacket and loose in the ceiling?
Thanks in advance for any comments or thoughts
