How to biwire?

[Chokobolt]

I want to biwire my new speakers, but I am not quite sure how it's done. I have "researched" a lot on this subject, but still not completely get it. There are only 4 binding posts on my amp, but 8 speaker cables will have to be connected. The only solution I can think of, is to jam 2 cables inside the banana plug going to the amp, but I am not sure there is space enough for 2 speaker cables in the banana plug. Please help me out, as my mind has been troubled by this for a long time [:S]

Basically you will have to connect two wires to a single banana plug, there's no way round that. If it's a problem, use thinner cable for the HF connections.

hi, the easiest way round your problem is to take your speaker cables to your nearest hifi dealer and get them to fix terminals onto your cables four into two costly i know but it's a good investment

Or just use stackable banana plugs...Like THESE for example.

Stackable? So there can be two cables inside them? How? 😛

One cable goes into the plug, then another plug to accept another cable can be inserted into the hole on the end of the first plug.

I use spades for my speaker cables. The one biwired section (The center speaker) ive used spades for bass and bananas for treble
