Does anyone have music in their arena? We have a cheap boom box in the barn, and are thinking of upgrading to a stereo which can have two sets of speakers, and putting a set of speakers in the arena.
Based on fuzzy memories of sound quality, and recent experience in electrical wiring, I know that there is current loss with longer wire..
Can anyone comment on the practicality of running speaker wire in an arena? We have a feed room just inside the common wall between the arena and barn where we could put a stereo (the stereo is 50 amp, and is about 20 years old; speaker outputs are 8 ohm). The arena is 160 feet long and 60 feet wide, and I'm thinking about putting the speakers in the middle of the arena, so adding in all the turns, it would be about 100 to 140 feet of paired wire for each speaker.
Is this asking too much from a stereo? Also, would we have to turn up the volume to make up for the current loss? So the speakers in the barn would be way too loud?
