I've decided to add Rti4's as surrounds to my RTi10 fronts powered off an HK354. I wanted to know if the length of speaker wire have to be the SAME for ALL speakers???

Running, 16 AWG roughly 12-15ft...

thanks

    I wouldn't worry about it unless your talking a couple hundred feet of difference.

    no they do not, however if you are getting them custom done from a company such as signal cable or others resale value can be hindered as a lot of people would want a pair of 8ft and not one 8ft and one 15ft. otherwise go for it.

    That's a good point. I usually keep mine of equal length.

    Its better if its equal length,
    but for a shorter within 30 you can
    go with + /- 5'
