Does it matter at all if my left and right channel speaker wires are different lengths?

Im using a 150 watt per channel amp (JL Audio 450/4), and 3 way front stage (MB Quart QSD seperate 6.5", 4", and Tweets).

No, it doesn't matter.

As long as they are reasonable it shouldn't matter. If you have 100 miles of wire on one side and 8' on the other side you may run in to issues. :)

Thanks for the replies.

So if I have 3 sets of wires going to my right tweeter, midrange, and midbass that are 17' long and 3 wires going to my left components that are 8'long, I shouldn't have any problems?

Thanks again!
