Bi-wire speaker cables be used as single set


Can a bi-wired pair of speaker cables be used to hook up non bired speakers. If so, is there a risk of shorting out the amp, or even speakers at their terminals??

Am I right to think you can either tape UNUSED amp/speaker CONNECTORS to prevent shorting.... or tape them back against body of the cable??

Any electronic problems using only one set of connectors per side for amp and speakers?? That is, changing impedance of the speaker cable which in turn seriously affect speaker or amp impedances??

Overall, it may not be worth the trouble just to save a few buck a on cable deal. BTW. speaker cables in question are a 14 ft bi-wire pair.

I had a friend who used to put condoms on the unused connectors, seemed to work.
