Something Else I'm Wondering About


I don't know why, but only recently have I noticed, and am now questioning, why the internal wiring of speakers is usually a much smaller gauge than the cables we hook them up with. If a larger gauge wire is "better" for hooking them up to the amp/receiver, etc..., then why not use a similar gauge wire in the very speaker itself? Also, does this mean that we need not use the larger, more expensive gauges if what we are seeking is better/optimal sound? Will a smaller/cheaper gauge wire yield the same results?


Thanks for your feedback.

I use kimber 4tc and have a dealer that lets me demo wire over the weekend so I brought home some really pretty nordost flat speaker wire that at 1/2 price would only cost as much as putting new tires on my truck, perspective is everything and I think I did notice a difference, but I couldn’t tell if I liked it better. Manufacturers of exotic speakers will put big name wires in the box as part of the pitch. To my worn out ears speaker wires are bling.
