I really appreciated the help. I have a 4 conductor wire running through a wall going from an amplifier to another room where I am considering mounting a speaker. Problem is, the wire is of low gauge, something around 18 gauge, for about a 50 foot run. I know it's very unideal, but I was wondering if creating two pairs of wires in parallel would help at least a bit with sound quality considering the wire is, for lack of better term, well, shit. I've included a (very crude) illustration of the four wires just in case I didn't explain this properly. My question is, is this worth doing in my situation?

Let's assume each conductor is 12 awg. If I had 4 conductors (all the same length) in a wire... If I spliced 2 pairs of wire to create 2 wires instead of 4, would the resistance of running a signal through one of those pairs be less than that of one of the original conductors? I understand the resistance should be 1/2 the original, but I just wanted to make sure I understood properly. Also, if the wire is REALLY BAD, as in 50 feet of 18-20 gauge, would this technique of splicing two conductors together help at all?

Hello. I was wondering if doubling the amount of speaker wire increases or decreases the resistance of the wire itself. In context, I have a 4 conductor wire going through the wall from a receiver to a wall mounted speaker. I was wondering that if I spliced two wires together and used them as one wire, would that decrease the resistance of the wire(s) themselves, thus acting as one wire of a larger gauge, or would using two wires increase the resistance? Thanks for the help.

Appreciate it

Hello all, i have recently built my father a computer, and I’d appreciate opinions as to the best upgrade path in the future. To begin, I believe I need to establish that my father is a power user who really appreciates a good computer. He renders videos and extremely high resolution images on COREL for his company on a regular basis. Now that that’s been established, let me write about the hardware...
