What is a cable's gauge ???

Thanks Jammrock,

I think my dealer has Monster speaker cables.
I just hope they aren't too expensive cause biwiring will mean 174ft of cable...

The reason for biwiring is better stated as using an active crossover. The reasoning for this is that all passive speaker crossovers are not time compensated and thus add phaseshift to the original music content. Utilizing an active crossover and amp to drive each driver independently of the others allows you to; 1. use a higher order crossover, inwhich prevents signals out of it's natural range to be much more controlled and 2. Use a crossover that doesn't add phase effects to the original content.

This not only improves the overall sound of any speaker greatly but even in the simplist sense, biwiring a sub will prevent the low midrange ie vocals, and instruments (including drums) producing sound in the 200-1000Hz range typically from becoming muddied. This occurs because in a typical 2-3-4 way setup the midbass-midrange region is essentially riding on a low frequency carrier.... this is called doppler effect
