[DML] Re: Grounding Each Speaker Individually

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the "purists" out there you really do need to have a dedicated
ground (return) wire for each speaker. Of course this assumes that the
amplifier you are using also has separate returns. It does no good at
all if they are all connected together in the amp. Any high quality
amp "should" have separate and discrete wiring for each channel. The
cheaper amps will cut corners and tie things together inside. For the
very best the return is NOT connected to ground and is in fact "fully
floating" so it isn't really called ground but is called return or
negative. When you get into high power levels it does matter.
