First, thanks to all who are chipping in with so much information.

I have a Magnavox 5 CD changer, with AM/FM, casette, tuner. Not what some
would consider a "real" audio device, but enough to fill the space where
it is used. All I wanted to do was stretch out the speakers and put them
up so that it will fill the high ceilinged cabin with better sound. And
to do so with confidence so I know when I get up there on ladders, that I
won't be having to get up there again for a good while.

Now, with the help of many here, I can confidently do this by using the
right wire, proper polarity, and even soldering the ends to get the right
result.

alt.home.repair is a great place for the stupid, the inexperienced, the
confused, and just the average Joe to come and find answers. After they
wade through the blogs, trolls, malcontents, religious zealots, spammers,
and just plain unhappy people, that is. Lots of good helpful souls here,
just as out in the real world.

Thanks again for the help.

Steve


I was being helpful, if you can't notice the difference between a crappy
sounding stereo, and a 1/2 decent one, then it doesn't matter how long you
run your speaker wire, because you won't know the difference. You could have
just bought the wire, and tried it out yourself...
