I am building my first system and have noticed the terms "tri-wire or bi-wire shotgun speaker cables" on the Internet. What the heck does this mean and how does it work? Thanks in advance. -Ryan
Not a problem Cornfedboy, appreciate the assistance and I get it now. Johnny B. was referring to bi-wiring, which until just recently was legal in the state of California for medicinal use. Though I hear that a lot of people still do it in the privacy of their own homes. I also apologize for getting off the track on this thread. I'm going a little nuts waiting for my "Homegrown" cables to break in.
dekay: your reposte to jonnybravo will be lost on those who don't know that a cut of meat (roast) is referred to in the uk as a "joint." don't mean to steal your thunder. just trying to be helpful to those not familiar with (what used to be) the queen's english. cheers!
Johnny B. What type of roast would you suggest for a good shotgun? Is rump OK? Do better cuts such as say a rib roast improve the quality of the shotgun or would it just be overkill? Thanks.
It means first taking a hit off of a joint and holding it in, then turning the joint around, putting the lit end into your mouth, then exhaling/blowing on the joint into the mouth of the person getting the 'shotgun', doubling the density of his hit.
If memory serves me right it means using 2 separate wires joined together at the amp end and 2 connections at the speaker ends - one for high frequencies and the other for low frequencies.
to my knoledge it means using two cables to bi-wire, instead of using one cable with internal bi-wire.For ex. you would have two cables going to each speaker instead of just one.
