Excess speaker wire

See the danger of this forum...

If you didn't read it, you would have been fine. You're damaged.

@ludwig99 It may be better to use a shorter cable for one side.-
- some people will not agree
- it does make using those cables elsewhere a problem
- a friend has the same problem so he used a shorter cable on one channel and is very happy

Coiling any wire introduces electromagnetic waves, but are they audible?
- that depends on how resolving/sensitive your system is.
- speaker wires are low voltage compared to mains cables
- it could depend on the speaker wire also
- different cable geometries are more sensitive than others

Will coiling a speaker cable do any damage to your system?
- probably not, but again, depends on your amp
- you could get feedback into the amp - not good

I read a while back that power cables should not be coiled, but instead use a figure 8 and put a twistie to keep the figure 8 shape.

My A/V system has the same issue
- I kept both cables are the same length so I could use them elsewhere
- I simply loop one cable in a "U" shape under the TV stand
- there is no issue with sound quality, image etc..

Hope that helps - Steve

I coil speaker wire for my bass bins. They are coiled from the outside to the inside. The center is then secured to the speaker and never touches itself. The cable is off the ground for static discharge/vibration.

Looks like a coiled and ready to strike snake.  Ready to be plugged into the speaker.. The fangs are Neg/pos terminals.. QUIET as a mouse.. NO noise... Routing is the key to a ZERO floor noise..

Welcome and enjoy the heck out of it... lots of fun.. :-)
