    Default Speaker wire

    Hey all,
    just finished dynamating my doors .... took from 8:30 to 3am... cut out mdf for the service holes ... put some waterproof paint on it and gaffa taped it around aswell... took out old speakers and ran new speaker cable (old one had like a million different cables joined together)

    Question I'm having is - the driver speaker is running through the dash to the passenger side and to the back where the amp is located... while the passenger speaker will go straight back to the amp .... will there be any difference between 1.5m extra on one side? It will make some sort of difference ... but is it something to care about? should I leave an extra 1.5m on the passenger side? cable not an issue ... i have to buy some anyway.

    fair question but for an extra 1.5m I dont think you should hear the difference. There is usually a difference depending where amps are mounted.

    always keep the speaker wire and power seperate, run the speaker stuff down the passenger side, there will be no difference running it this way. if ur really concerned use a bit better cabling, u dont have to run the expensive stuff. i have done it this way and is fine.

    I'm running DNA speaker cable... both running passenger side. I was just wondering if I should try to keep the even length or as short as possible... cause the driver side is like 1.5m longer than the passenger side.

    yea dont stress about the length, that wont effect quality, the key is keeping power isolated from the sound, and that means passenger side.
