Speaker cable length

Hey y'all,

I'm thinking about changing the setup of my rig so the equipment rack is off to the side and nothing is between the speakers. However, that's going to entail a much longer set of speaker cables. Is there anything about speaker cable length I should be aware of? And and am I right in assuming that I need to keep both pairs of cables equal length?

If you are using 6 or 8 AWG wire and you are not running in excess of 30 - 40 feet, you will not feel any difference in the sound.

Make sure the cable lengths to both the speakers are the same, and do not coil loose cable if there is any.  Bend them and make them run parallel.

Simao,

you will be fine with a 10 awg wire for those distances. No worries.
