Calculating Gauge of speaker cables, 18, 16, 14 and 12 gauge.

HBD EagleEye

I've noticed no mention of size of cables, lenght or requierements with in this section.

I guess some may think bah doller store or buck or 2 18 gauge speaker cable is good enough to use.

In fact you maybe right if you're hook-ups of all you're cables are with in a very small radius *cough* i would sugest 3 feet.. lol

My current setup is my 3 fronts are setup with 14 gauge cables all of lenght of exactly 6 feet.

My 4 rears are setup with 12 gauge cable.

My setup is hiss free no humming and clear and LOUD.

No stress on the receiver, heck it barley even heats up.

For easy setup and tear down i have it all setup with banana plugs.

Please go away if your trying to start something here. If you not..I apologize and welcome to CP.

I sadi what I said because that's a rather strange first post that screams troll.

You cannot calculate wire gauge if the spell checker is not working. Otherwise, the data can be wrong. Garbage in, garbage out. However, your setup is awesome. One of the best.

I use 1.25478 Gauge Monster Spearker Cables and my system rocks. I think you need to find 1/2 gauge cables, eh? Yes, my splell checkr works. Juz fine.

I propose the op to take one of his 3 front cables that are exactly 6 feet each, make one longer by 2 feet and see if he hears a difference.

Fwiw....if you care to read any old threads, we've beaten the cable debate to death from gauge to length, from copper to silver, from analog to digital, hdmi, and any possible inbetweens.

Welcome to the club, btw.

My system is completely wireless. The gauge is as thick as the room is from ceiling to floor and wall to wall. Even the speakers underneath the floor are connected this way. I love my wireless power cables, makes for a nice clean install.
