Turnaround: It is OK to connect the 4 ends at the amp & then parallel the both pairs at the speaker end. I have a similar situation & confirmed its safety with none other than Mr. Bruce Brisson, who happened to pick up my call. However do not "turnaround" the cable's signal direction; it was not designed to operate that way. If you ever replace or rewire your speakers to bi-wirable mode, the cable would have been run in incorrectly & would require considerable time & effort to properly reverse back to normal.
Wiring two post speakers with biwire cable
I have speakers with one pair of binding posts each. My amp has four binding posts for each channel (biwiring capable).
I have a set of biwire cables (one end has two terminations, + and -, the other end has four, two + and two -).
Is is safe to connect all four terminations at the end of this cable to the two posts on each speaker, or should I leave one set of + and - unconnected? What if I connected the four termination end to the amp and the two termination end to the speaker?
I don't want to run into any problems with running cables in parallel, messing with impedance, etc. Thanks.
