Re: Why 3 runs to midrange drivers?

StylinLP,

From past trial and error experience, I figured my Quad 22L's needed at least 12AWG going to the LF terminal. (Note these speakers are crossed over at 3KHz, so one run of 16AWG or 14AWG is more than sufficient for the HF terminal).

If I doubled up the 16AWG, I would have got just 13AWG. Hence the three runs, which gives an aggregate of about 11.5AWG. To tell you the truth, I did not compare 2 runs versus 3.

Is there any particular reason I should use an even number instead of odd?

Thanks,

___________
