...the x-overs of these speakers (hello SpotcheckBilly!). I will add a 2nd cable for biwiring the two 'halves*' by snipping the wire feeding full-range signal to the bass x-overs and soldering the bass cables directly to the bass-x-over boards. I'll run that cable out the bottom bass-cavity-vent tube and to the amp's terminals. Will use a triple run of the inexpensive 16/4 stranded I bought for the hundreds of feet of cable for the surround and height speakers.Of course, using all four 16g. conductors for one pole turns it into 10g., and adding two more of the 16g. conductors from a third cable to each of the first two cables (= six conductors per pole) equals c. 8-1/4g.** THAT ought to carry the bass signals! Will wrap the portion (within the cabinet-vent tube) of each heat-shrunk single triple-cable, after heatshrinking, with soft, thin foam padding so that it won't rattle. I did NOT do anything like that for the similar bass cables I made for my Avanti IIIs, and they did rattle very occasionally.

...used decimal points. Do they think we don't understand them?. As it is, I use a resistors-in-parallel calculator and an AWG resistance chart.
