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.

Some people do go into their speakers and rewire the insides with whatever speaker cable they are using.

Still, mutatis mutandis, this is rather like the electric grid/power cable argument.
