Does splicing speaker wirre reduce sound quality?

Question

I splice my surround sound speaker wire, will there be a difference in sound quality where as if I just had one long wire not spliced?

Answer 1

I have a surround sound and i had to splice my wires. they seems to be as powerful as before. if you do this correct the sound quality will not change at all.

Answer 2

Yes there will be some sound degradation, also there will be a chance to cause a short in your wiring. Not to mention that it will increase the chance to pick up electrical interference.

Answer 3

So long as the splicing is done properly, there should be no problem.

My idea of a proper splice are the splices being soldered to ensure that no corrosion will degrade the connection and each splice isolated and insulated with its own shrink tubing.

Answer 4

if you have high end equiptment of course if not go with it (use solder) (tape) and braide wire do not twist like a bread tie...
