As others have mentioned you shouldn't have any performance issues from the subwoofer or your loudspeakers if both the high level wires and your speaker wire are connected to the same terminals with bare wire termination. As long as the wires are both making good, secure contact with the terminal you should be fine. The main benefit of adding spade connectors or banana plugs onto the ends of the high level cable is to make connecting and disconnecting the high level cable easier.
Amp binding posts for bare speaker wires
I've always favored bare wire connections for connecting speakers to amplifier binding posts. I am going to add a subwoofer to my system. REL subs connect their neutrik speakon cable directly to the binding posts and I was wondering if it is advisable to combine bare speaker wire and speakon cables (Black, red, and yellow) together.Or is it better to use for example; banana plugs or spades then connect the sub via bare wire. What I'm trying to ask is, should I separate the speaker wires from the sub wires or does it matter
if they are connected together.
if they are connected together.
