Hi all,
I've posted this question in another forum also. But my dad has bi-wire speaker cable but for his current speakers he needs only a single wire configuration. So rather than buy new single wire cables, I re-terminated the bi-wire cables to the configuration shown in the linked photo (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-i3k0tXbWl3WWMyUDR0YTZvLVU), to now make them single wire cables. They are just screw type banana plugs. Didn't do any soldering just yet. I'm definitely not an expert, but it seems non-ideal splitting each positive and negative terminal signal into the two smaller cables, even though the signal starts and ends in one banana plug.
So for example, looking at the black banana plug in the attached photo, from the amps negative terminal would the signal split between the black cable and the green cable, before arriving at the speaker end negative terminal? Since the signal is split between the black and green cables in this example, will one split signal arrive at the cable end before the other? It gives me an uneasy feeling that it might not be the ideal thing to do, but I don't know the 'why' part, so just after some advice and explanations if possible?
Thanks heaps *biggrin*
