    Default Unshielded subs and speaker wires

    I don't think I've seen any discussions about this but I've got a question...

    Many of us run subs in our 2ch rigs. Many of them without magnetic shielding. We already know what it can do to a television when placed too close. But what about running the speaker cables for our mains close to the sub? Is there any evidence that the magnetic field from the sub will alter the voltage/current going to the speaker?

    if you cables are not coiled, then probably not. Coiled, you've got a much bigger chance of picking something up.

    That's what I was thinking too. They're not coiled right now and I don't hear a difference. Thanks.
