    Are you talking specifically about powered speakers? Certainly, resistance is a lesser concern when you’re passing almost no current.

    But it’s important to have a heavy enough gauge cable between amplifiers and passive speakers so that there is not too much resistance, as this will cause it to overheat and potentially start a fire.

    Generally speaking, I think a coat hanger’s gauge is too small for common amplifiers. Plus, if it’s iron then it’s going to have a higher resistance compared to standard materials, meaning more voltage drop and more heating.

    The taiga has been burning for years due to climate change. Some of these fires are nonstop, with so-called ghost fires burning underground through the winter that reignite into bigger fires when it gets dry. Siberia has had it the worst. I wonder if this is related. I would think it probably is.

    It is noteworthy that the mayor of Bratsk (Irkutsk region) has already stated that “in all cases, fires are handmade, everywhere the human factor.” In all likelihood, the season of kebabs with alcohol in nature gave a new impetus to the elements. In some settlements, the fire was close to multi-storey buildings.

    This could be a possibility too, although I don’t know whether the statement is in earnest or coming from a climate-denial perspective like you hear in the US and Canada. Hopefully the former. Is anyone familiar with the mayor, by any chance?
