biwiring help

Does biwiring mean running two speaker wires from the receiver to the same speaker? Is there an alternative (less messy and not too expensive) way of biwring?

It does, but the overwhelming majority of folk around here'll tell you that there's no difference in sound quality whatsoever.

No, then it wouldn't be called bi-wiring. It would be called something else.

1.) Yes

2.) Running a 12ga. wire to each speaker. Its all thats needed.

yep... biwiring is basically just a gimmic for speakers of 200w or less. The only way that biwiring would come in handy is if you have a 400w speaker and you want to use two separate amps to power it. Even still, i would just bridge the amps

Biwiring is a gimmick PERIOD. It is the same thing as running a larger AWG of wire and nothing more.

That would be BiAMPing, not biwiring.
