1) Currently using DIamond 8.3s and though speakers has option for bi-wiring, Im only using the factory supplied metal strip for jumpering the HF and LF terminals together.

 

What would be a jumper cable to replace that metal strip?

Can i use a very short run of Belden 1810A?

 

2) Would want to replace my current no name surround speaker cables with something better. However the 1810A 4 conductor cable will be to thick to run across the room. What other thinner, reasonably sounding options do i have?

I suggest that whatever spk cable you are using now, just cut one short length to be use as the jumper.

You might want to try QED Qudos spk cables.

Yes you can use your existing cable and cut a short length as a jumper if you're worried that the jumper is that bad. For your surround, don't worry too much replacing your existing cable. Depending on the required length, your cable may cost more than your surround speaker..  8)

ks, Belden 1810A is a very good and well price cable for the surrounds. You can just run it along the side of the wall. Others might cost you more and not perform better or much thinner than 1810A. Cons of 1810A is it quite stiff.

I was thinking, since there are 4 conductors for 1810a, i will run just one 1810a, and use 2 conductors for each channel on the amps end and the speakers end.

 

This might be a cheaper and more space conserving method?

 

Or you can use the single wire 1860A which I'm using now.

Does it sound similar to the 1810a?

 

How many conductors in trunk cable itself?

It the same cable. Just that it a single run cable.
