I hate asking questions this dumb. So laugh, say "Gee, what a hayseed" then please if you can answer....
This all assumes no bi-wire or bi-amp.
1. If I'm using 12 gauge wire in a 5.1 system and my surrounds are 25' away, do I need 100' of wire just to wire the surrounds? (L & R x 25' x 2 speakers)
2. If I want to use banana plugs for a 5.1 system, do I need 20 plugs? (L & R x 5 speakers x 2 receiver outputs).
3. Do banana plugs have to be soldered or can they just be clamped on in some fashion?
4. For an active subwoofer, do I just need a single subwoofer cable to drive it apart from power?
Thanks very much in advance.
