Parallel drivers: Where to fork?

[FerruleCat]

I'm going to wire two drivers in parallel. They have screw-type connector posts.

Plan A is to screw two pairs of wires into the connectors of the first driver -- one pair coming from the Speakon jack, and the other pair going out to the second driver.

Plan B is to fork the wires immediately after the Speakon and feed one pair to each driver.

Plan A seems more straightforward, but are there any reasons to prefer Plan B?

Thanks very much!

No.

I figured, but you can never be too cautious with electrons. Thanks very much.

Quite right. If you don't vote carefully the wrong guy wins the electron!!

It's actually more of a question whether the hole on the speaker terminal is large enough to accommodate two conductors, and that depends on your wire size.

If the wire with the sheathing will fit through the speaker terminal hole, string it so that you have only two wires running from the speakon and then onto each terminal on the speaker. Then carefully skin the sheathing back to contact the speaker terminals.

If you use the right gauge wire, you should have no problem fitting two wires into the speaker terminal though.

I prefer only one wire connected to each speakon terminal.

Yep, that's what she commented on.
