Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Technical Questions re: Grounding and Connection

REL provides a cable that includes a grounding wire. I have no ground screw on my amp, and their other suggestion is to use a chassis screw which on my amp are not prominent enough to use. Is a ground essential? I don't see any other manufacturer suggesting it, just regular IC's or speaker cables for the "high level" connection. Waiting to hear back from REL and LTA about other options.

Also, I've seen something about connecting the sub directly to the main speakers. Is that something that can be done? I don't have "bi wire" capable connections on my speakers, so I would have to use two cables to each terminal for the stereo subs. Always afraid I'm going to blow something up!

Sure would be easier to just get the Quads or the ATC SCM40A's!

ETA: Probably a dumb question, but If wireless turns out to be an option, for stereo subs I assume I would need 2 transmitters and receivers correct?
