    People will argue better speaker wire sounds better, but i'm yet to hear any difference. As long as it is adequate thickness and flexible enough to work with, it's fine.

    I doubt you'll hear any difference shortnening the wires, but it'd be better to make it neat.

    only get better wire if the speakers are really high powered ones.
    eg: for my sub, the wire is like 2cm thick..
    shortening the wires, u wont notice any difference, unless there seriously is a few kms worth in there.. lol
    I wonder what those scales on the top right side of my posts do...

    As the old saying goes...the chain is only as stong as the weakest link!

    my point? if your wire isnt causing crappy sound the RCA's, connectors, HU's internals will be...as long as its the right guage, easy to work with and looks wicked when on display, your ok!

    Its a good idea to shorten it!

    looking at selling it? ......maybe after some
