Bi-wire cable question?HYFI61

I have a pair of Prism bi-wires. I just replaced my speakers with non bi-wireable ones. The cables are split into 4 at speaker end and 2 at aplifier end. Why can't I double up the 2 highs and 2 lows at speaker end without speaker cutting out? Can I reconfigure the cables?

Unless I'm reading it wrong it sounds like your wanting to twist a pos and neg together. Don't twist the two higher together. Twist the positive high with the positive low and the negative high with the negative low. I think that may be what you're saying though. Doing that would work fine. It would also be better than leaving one set of wires hanging.

You'd probably be better off with new cables though.

But I don't think you need new cables. I have read that doubling up on cables is a really good thing.

I know jack crap about electricity, but it is supposed to lower resistance or improve inductance or capacitance or some such thing.
