Normal "shotgun" configuration is the twist the wires in the same jacket together. That's the way I've always seen it done. I have done this many times to great satisfaction. My current setup has it just this way.
Best way to shotgun cables
I've got enough cable (10+2) in wall twisted pair wire to do a double run to my speakers. This will not be biwire, I have thiels and they have only one set of binding posts.
My question is this. Is it better to take the positive / negative lead inside each cable jacket and wire each to the +/- taps on the amp and speaker (like piggy back), or should I combine the leads in each cable jacket and run one extra thick cable to the + tap, and the other to the - tap.
I'm thinking there may be an advantage to the twist geometry in the jackets that i would be negating by keeping the wires parallel to eachother. On the other hand, there may be an advantage to being able to physically separate the positive and negative lead.
